  1. 1. An Analysis of E-Waste Collection Across Countries

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Author : Felix Liljhagen; Aron Rehnberg; [2024-02-12]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In line with technological development, electronic waste has become the world's fastest-growing waste category, increasing three times faster than the world's population. Although e-waste legislation covers about 66% of the world's population, the global recycling rate for e-waste is only 20%. READ MORE

  3. 2. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE

  5. 4. Impact of the EU Battery Regulation on Circular Economy of EV Batteries- barriers and opportunities for battery repurposing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Yi Chun Lin; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery waste management; EU regulation; repurposing; circular business models; End-of-life EoL batteries; Recycling; Hantering av batteriavfall; EU-förordning; Återanvändning; Cirkulära affärsmodeller; uttjänat batterier; Återvinning;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive exploration of the impact of EU battery regulations, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, on end-of-life batteries, focusing on repurposing within the supply chain. We used both surveys and interviews to gather qualitative data from the stakeholders in the battery supply chain. READ MORE

  6. 5. Qualitative Analysis of Chlorinated Paraffins in Recycled Plastics

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Solal GAUDIN; [2023]
    Keywords : Short chain Chlorinated Paraffins SCCP Medium chain Chlorinated Paraffins MCCP Long chain Chlorinated Paraffins LCCP Recycled plastics Qualitative analysis Bioaccumulation Long range transport Gas Chromatography – Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Described in many studies as dangerous for the environment and potentially carcinogenic for humans, Chlorinated Paraffins (CPs) are easily widespread due to their substantial production and use in different products. Previous studies reported the presence of CPs in different plastic polymers. READ MORE
