This study investigated the potential of reusing plastics derived from multilayered food carton recycling processes as a modifier for asphalt mixtures by dry process. Two types plastics, one untreated and pelletized, were added to mixture containing neat binder using three different methods in two amounts (2 5% weight aggregates). The chemical physical properties explored via differential scann...

Biodegradation of plastics through the use enzymes provides an attractive, environmentally friendly solution to dispose and recycle plastic wastes. Although many natural engineered plastic-degrading have been developed, their practical applications are hindered by biodegradation in open environments. We reasoned that most popularly used plastics, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), achira...

Millions of tons chemical plastics are accumulated annually worldwide in terrestrial and marine environments due to inadequate recycling plants facilities low circular use. Their continuous accumulation contamination soil water pose a severe threat the environment human, animal plant health. There is therefore an urgent need develop effective eco-environmental strategies overcome significant en...

Polymers and their composites have played an important role in industrial development. Polymer are becoming much stronger more competitive than other materials as a result of ongoing research This was made possible by newly developed techniques that could alter the physical chemical properties constituents. One them is self-reinforcement technique, which allows for fabrication high-strength the...

Covid is giving us many lessons among which one must be to realize that this the time act for sustainable future. The smart world around has made it inevitable have an alarming situation regarding uncontrolled growth of waste products such as plastic and electronic wastes. Both are immense threats health human, wildlife environment, eventually affect societal economic structures evident from re...

The management of plastic waste is considered to be among the major environmental problems that must urgently addressed. For various reasons, recycling not always feasible. In this study, a comprehensive evaluation mixture wastes (of municipal solid wastes, MSW) as potential fuel performed. Precisely, combustion and co-combustion waste-lignite blends are studied. Thermochemical characteristics,...
