Sorting of plastic waste for effective recycling
Separation of plastic from various types of waste streams represents one of major problematic process in energy recovery through different thermochemical processes. The sorting of plastics is a very essential step in different waste management technique. Manual sorting is suitable when plastic component are present in large amount but it is a labor intensive process. In automated sorting techni...
متن کاملExtending value stream mapping through waste definition beyond customer perspective
Value stream mapping (VSM) is one of the several Lean practices, which has recently attracted interest in the software engineering community. In other contexts (such as military, health and production), VSM has achieved considerable improvements in processes and products. The goal is to capitalize on these benefits in the software intensive product development context. The primary contribution ...
متن کاملGLOBAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM 2016 Impacts of a Change from Dual Stream to Single Stream Recycling
Typically, a switch to single stream recycling is often accompanied by other programmatic or collection process changes such as adding more recyclable materials, moving to Pay-As-YouThrow, or automating collection. Here, all aspects of the Town waste program remained the same except for the mode of recyclables collection (although the definition of recyclable plastic containers was expanded fro...
متن کاملRecycling of Mixed Plastic Waste – Is Separation Worthwhile?
The automated separation of plastic waste fractions intended for mechanical recycling is associated with substantial investments. It is therefore essential to evaluate to what degree separation really brings value to waste plastics as raw materials for new products. The possibility of reducing separation requirements and broadening the range of possible applications for recycled materials throu...
متن کاملComposition of plastic waste discarded by households and its management approaches
Among the emerging environmental issues within Sub-Saharan Africa is the haphazard disposal of plastic waste, some of which end up downstream in the marine environment leading to negative effects. Notably there have been cases of humpback whales getting entangled in ‘ghost’ fishing nets, and endangered turtles ingesting plastic wastes in Watamu beach in Kenya. The aim of the current study was t...
