Circularity of Plastics: Sustainability, Emerging Materials, and Valorization of Waste Plastic takes an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to circularity and sustainability in plastics, with an emphasis on plastic waste and end-of-life treatment and options for recycling, re-use, valorization and development of biomass-based polymers. The book introduces key concepts of sustainable materials, the circular economy, and lifecycle assessment, and discusses challenges in the valorization of waste. Other sections cover the upcycling of waste plastic into new materials and fuels, with dedicated chapters exploring state-of-the-art techniques for conversion to new sustainable polymers, fuel, fine chemicals and carbon nanomaterials. Emerging technologies used to produce functional polymers from renewable feedstocks, including CO2, biomass, natural polymers, polylactic acid (PLA), and polyhydroxyalkanoate-based materials (PHAs) are then explored, with a final chapter focusing on applications of sustainable materials, challenges, and future perspectives. This is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, R&D professionals, and advanced students from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, with an interest in sustainable materials, circularity in plastics, and polymer waste and valorization. Explains the fundamental concepts of sustainable materials, circular economy, lifecycle assessment, and valorization of plastic waste Presents cutting-edge methods for the conversion or upcycling of waste to sustainable polymers, fuel and fine chemicals, and carbon nanomaterials Provides detailed coverage of the development of functional polymers from a range of sustainable and renewable resources

We cannot imagine a world without plastics. Plastic products make our daily life safe, healthy and convenient. Besides all the benefits, the current plastics economy gives rise to environmental concerns with respect to fossil oil depletion and plastic waste accumulation. In a circular economy, however, plastics can be redesigned for reusability and recyclability. This book makes the topic of sustainable plastics approachable for students and career starters alike, describing the nature and chemistry of (bio)polymers as well as how to create a closed loop of plastic materials.

The widespread use of plastics and inadequate end-of-life waste management has led to persistent plastic pollution with adverse impacts on marine wildlife, livelihoods and potentially human health. Consequently, the plastic pollution problem has gained importance in the international agenda. Yet, there is a lack of understanding of the socio-economic consequences of plastic policies in the coming decades. This paper presents a novel analysis of policies to address plastic pollution in a computable general equilibrium model, which provides the link between economic activity and plastics use and waste. The paper presents two policy scenarios: (i) one reflecting the different circumstances and challenges of countries - Regional Action, and (ii) one more ambitious scenario reflecting co-ordinated effort at global level - Global Action. Compared to a Baseline scenario in which plastics use and waste would triple and mismanaged waste (the main source of plastic pollution) almost doubles by 2060, the policy scenarios reduce plastic throughout its lifecycle. While Regional Action can decrease mismanaged waste by over 60%, Global Action can almost eliminate all mismanaged waste by 2060. The costs of both policy packages are limited.

Plastics are an integral and important part of the global and Thai economies. Since the 1950s the use of plastic products has expanded twenty-fold owing to their low cost, various functional properties, durability and wide range of applications. Mismanaged plastic waste from land-based sources, especially in the form of packaging, generates significant economic costs globally and in Thailand by reducing the productivity of vital natural systems and clogging urban infrastructure. The private sector can lead the transition from current take-make-waste linear models to circular economy approaches in collaboration with the public sector and other stakeholders. This report focuses on the market assessment of plastics value chains and the recycling market in Thailand with the overall goal of identifying the opportunities and barriers for plastics circularity in the country.

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century that requires innovative and varied solutions. Focusing on sub-Saharan Africa, this book brings together interdisciplinary, multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder perspectives exploring challenges and opportunities for utilising digital innovations to manage and accelerate the transition to a circular plastic economy (CPE). This book is organised into three sections bringing together discussion of environmental conditions, operational dimensions and country case studies of digital transformation towards the circular plastic economy. It explores the environment for digitisation in the circular economy, bringing together perspectives from practitioners in academia, innovation, policy, civil society and government agencies. The book also highlights specific country case studies in relation to the development and implementation of different innovative ideas to drive the circular plastic economy across the three sub-Saharan African regions. Finally, the book interrogates the policy dimensions and practitioner perspectives towards a digitally enabled circular plastic economy. Written for a wide range of readers across academia, policy and practice, including researchers, students, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), digital entrepreneurs, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and multilateral agencies, policymakers and public officials, this book offers unique insights into complex, multilayered issues relating to the production and management of plastic waste and highlights how digital innovations can drive the transition to the circular plastic economy in Africa.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the current state of knowledge regarding the chemical recycling of polymeric materials (e.g., plastics, rubber) from waste. Considering the scale of plastic pollution and the potential role that chemical recycling could play in addressing some of the related issues, this study focused on chemical recycling of plastic waste. Six research topics were addressed: chemical recycling technologies, waste streams, recovered substances, materials and waste residues, chemical recycling and substances of very high concern, chemical recycling and policy developments and chemical recycling and tracking systems. The literature review covered 228 research and grey literature sources published since 2015 and consultation was carried out with 22 experts in chemical recycling. The authors found that there is lack of clarity and consistency in chemical recycling terminology. Chemical recycling is an umbrella term which covers different technologies with varying potential to contribute to the circularity of plastics. There is a fragmented knowledge about the fate of substances of concern in various chemical recycling processes, and a paucity of scientific papers discussing regulatory issues in chemical recycling. Digital technologies could contribute to improving the traceability of substances of concern in recycling. However, their implementation requires substantial inter-organisational and organisational efforts.

Currently, large amounts of plastic waste are incinerated or landfilled, despite the existence of several recycling routes. In this book, a roadmap is provided to increase the amount of recycled plastic waste. Focus is on poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, which is a polymer widely used for its optical properties. The entire recycling chain, from collection of plastic waste, to mechanical/chemical recycling, and purification is covered.
