The characteristics of plastics - rich waste streams FROM END - OF - LIFE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
نویسنده
چکیده
The results from numerous studies on the plastics fractions obtained from waste electrical and electronic equipment have been analysed and an assessment made of their suitability for recycling or other forms of recovery. In view of the challenge to ensure the suitability for mechanical recycling by removal of various substances, it is concluded that it is prudent to explore the benefits or other end-of-life recovery options such as chemical feedstock recycling and energy recovery.

The properties of products made from recycled plastics are in part determined by the level and types of impurities found in the primary plastic. The removal of other plastics is essential if the properties are to approach those of virgin resin. Purification of plastic resins is achieved by exploiting differences in material properties of the different plastic types. Differences in density and s...

The majority of waste plastics currently produced are either landfilled or incinerated. Plastics do not readily degrade and toxic elements can be leached from the landfill. Combustion of waste plastics can generate environmentally hazardous air pollutants such as dioxins/furans, as well as undesirable carbon dioxide. Consequently, cost effective ways of recycling the increasing amounts of gener...
