The increase in agricultural production and food quality has forced the growing use of plastics various activities. plastic wastes are partially recycled or outside Portugal; nevertheless, contaminated sent to landfill. It is crucial consider new models for their valorization at a regional level from circular economy perspective. In scope Placarvões project, study was elaborated, which included...

Thermal behavior of plastic materials can be improved by knowing thermal degradation kinetics for the optimal design and operation of pyrolysis process. In the present study, thermogravimetric analysis has been used for the non-isothermal kinetic study of waste high-density polyethylene pyrolysis under nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates 10, 20 and 40 °C/min. The kinetic parameters, ...

Global trade in plastic waste and scrap declined further (2017-2021) 2021 preliminary data indicates a continuing trend the first half of 2022 (January to May). The combined surplus OECD Member Countries (i.e., difference between exports imports) continued decrease. Less is being exported by countries non-OECD countries, however some still export substantial volumes countries. Particularly seve...

With the increase in demand for plastic use, waste (WP) management remains a challenge contemporary world due to lack of sustainable efforts tackle it. The increment WPs is proportional man’s and use plastics, these come along with environmental challenges. This WPs, resulting consequences are mainly characteristic biodegradation properties plastics. Landfilling, pollution, groundwater contamin...
