As the additive manufacturing industry grows, it is compounding global plastic waste problem. Distributed recycling and (DRAM) offers an economic solution to this challenge, but has been relegated either small-volume 3D printers (limiting throughput) or expensive industrial machines accessibility lateral scaling). To overcome these challenges, paper provides proof-of-concept for a novel, open-s...

background: production of solid waste is the result of the human’s different activities that today has changed a lot in comparison to the past due to the changing life styles and pervasive expansion. in isfahan province lots of wastes are produced daily. due to the importance of the waste and its recycling, the purpose is determining the production scopes of different wastes in order to find a ...

High demand for plastic worldwide has resulted in increasing environmental pollution. To make the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly, recycling of waste must be considered. In view this a social enterprise called Me.reka Makerspace aims to use produce recycled products using injection molding. However, molding is complex process. past experienced numerous failures resulting def...

The use of plastic has grown extensively in recent years all over the world. It is inexpensive and easily available can be moulded into any shape. However, nonbiodegradable; it causes pollution create difficulties managing even for a wealthy nation. purpose this study was to investigate environment-friendly potential demonstrate usefulness sand bricks as alternative structural elements, replaci...

The total production of plastics is currently more than 230 million tonnes/year, which will increase to 400 million tonnes in 2020, based on a very conservative growth rate of about 5% per year [1, 2]. The increasing consumption of polymer products, in various fields, generates a large quantity of waste materials, which equates to more than 12% of the urban solid waste stream [3]. Therefore, th...
