Building materials can play an important rolein the process of a building formation or destruction, in fact, materials forms the building nature.

After the first life cycle of plastics various recycling processes are available for further utilization of these valuable materials. For an ecologically and economically satisfying solution the most suitable process has to be chosen. In chemical recycling polymers are degraded to basic chemical substances which can be reused in the petrochemical industry. For soiled waste plastics or waste pla...

The issue of automobile recyclability is a problem with complex ramifications for car makers world-wide. Confronted with increasingly stringent fuel economy, emissions, and safety standards, recyclability is an attribute which can limit the ability of the automaker to meet these other goals economically. Nevertheless, social and political pressures upon the industry require that it responds to ...

Critical materials share the same insufficiencies in their life cycles; low recycling rates and a high degree of dissipative losses. The limitations for the secondary use of critical materials are their minor concentrations in final products, their dissipative applications, and the fact that they are irreversibly mixed with other material flows in current recycling practices. This is exacerbate...

Designers of heavy ion (HI) and Z-pinch inertial fusion power plants have explored the potential of recycling the target and recyclable transmission line (RTL) materials as an alternate option to disposal in a geological repository. Although the physics basis of the HI and Z-pinch concepts is widely different, many of the recycling issues facing both designs are quite similar. This work represe...

This paper shows that for 24 out of 25 solid waste materials, recycling saves more energy than is generated by incinerating mixed solid waste in an energy-from-waste facility. Recycling conserves energy that would otherwise be expended extracting virgin raw materials from the natural environment and transforming them to produce goods that can also be manufactured from recycled waste materials. ...
