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.Environmental economicsbicsscPollution controlbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscactivation energyalternative fuelsanimal manureautomotive shredder residueball millingbituminous modifiercarbon conversionscarbon nanotubescement decarbonizationchain extensionchemical analysiscirco-economicscircular economyclean energyco-pyro-gasificationco-pyrolysiscombustioncompatibilisationcompositioncontaminationcreep compliancecryoagentdispersiondynamic modulusepoxy resinflame retardancyfunctionalizationHamburg wheel-trackingimpact propertiesindirect tensile strengthkineticsligninlignin modified bitumenlinear correlationlinear viscoelastic propertiesliquid nitrogenlong-chain branchingmaterial circularity indicatormechanical propertiesmechanical recyclingmechano-chemical treatmentn/anon-isothermal crystallisation kineticsnon-soot catalystsopen graded friction coursepackagingplastic wastepoly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)poly (l-lactic acid)polyethylenepolyethylene-modified bitumenpolymerpolymer based post-consumer wastepolymer-modified asphaltpolypropylenepolysiliconepost-consumer wastereactive extrusionrecycled opaque PETrecyclingrelaxation modulusrheological behaviorroad engineeringrubberruttingsiliconesolid recovered fuelsustainable energysynergytensile propertiesthermal conductivitythermal degradationthiol-eneviscoelastic propertieswaste tirewaste utilizationwaste-to-energywax-based additivesEnvironmental economicsPollution controlResearch & information: generalDevasahayam Sheilaedt1288355Singh RamanedtStrezov VladimiredtDevasahayam SheilaothSingh RamanothStrezov VladimirothBOOK9910585945503321Recycling and Resource Recovery from Polymers3020754UNINA
