Plastic recycling has the lowest environmental impact on global warming potential and total energy use. However, under-utilised plastic wastes due to low value issues with sorting/contamination pose major challenges. Novel technologies drive innovation in a circular economy model for plastics and employ reuse, recycling and responsible manufacture solutions, support the development of new industries and jobs, reduce emissions and increase efficient use of natural resources (including energy, water and materials). Many economies are working towards achieving a zero plastic waste economy. This Special Issue covers the applications of recycled plastics in the areas of energy recovery/alternative fuels, economic analyses, bitumen additives, flame retardants, recycled polymer nanocomposites to enhance the mechanical property, thermomechanical recycling to improve physical properties, mechano-chemical treatment, cryogenic waste tyre recycling, application in decarbonizing technology, e.g., cement industry, waste characterization, improving agricultural soil quality, as smart fertilizers. The Editors express their appreciation to all the contributors across the world in the development of this reprint. This reprint gives different perspectives and technical ideas for the transformation of plastic wastes into value-added products and to achieve higher recycling rates in the coming years.Research & information: generalbicsscEnvironmental economicsbicsscPollution controlbicsscligninbituminous modifierlignin modified bitumenchemical analysisrheological behaviormechanical propertiesroad engineeringopen graded friction courseviscoelastic propertiescreep compliancerelaxation modulusdynamic moduluslinear correlationpolymer-modified asphaltHamburg wheel-trackingindirect tensile strengthco-pyrolysissynergykineticsplastic wasteanimal manurecement decarbonizationwaste utilizationco-pyro-gasificationcarbon conversionsnon-soot catalystsclean energypolymerrubberrecyclingcryoagentliquid nitrogenwaste tirethermal conductivitypost-consumer wastemechanical recyclingpolyethylenepolypropylenecontaminationcompositiontensile propertiesimpact propertiescompatibilisationpolymer based post-consumer wastemechano-chemical treatmentball millingthiol-enecarbon nanotubespolysiliconefunctionalizationflame retardancydispersionepoxy resinsiliconethermal degradationactivation energypoly (l-lactic acid)poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)non-isothermal crystallisation kineticscircular economycirco-economicsmaterial circularity indicatorpackagingrecycled opaque PETreactive extrusionchain extensionlong-chain branchingpolyethylene-modified bitumenwax-based additivesruttinglinear viscoelastic propertiescombustionautomotive shredder residuesolid recovered fuelalternative fuelssustainable energywaste-to-energyResearch & information: generalEnvironmental economicsPollution controlDevasahayam Sheilaedt1288355Singh RamanedtStrezov VladimiredtDevasahayam SheilaothSingh RamanothStrezov VladimirothBOOK9910585945503321Recycling and Resource Recovery from Polymers3020754UNINA
