  1. 16. Recycling methods for glass fibre-reinforced plastic polymers : Glass fibre composites in a circular economy?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Hanna Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Composites; Glass; Fibre; Reinforced; Recycling; Circular economy; Circularity; Reinforcement; Plastic; Polymer; End-of-life; Reuse; Waste; Materials Chemistry; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. READ MORE

  3. 17. Mechanical properties of viscose filament : Made from recycled cotton textile and softwood dissolving pulp

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörs- och kemivetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Sanne Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Recycled cotton textile; recycled textile; dissolving pulp; wood dissolving pulp; softwood; viscose dope; viscose filament; the viscose process; spinning process; Återvunnen bomullstextil; återvunnen textil; dissolvingmassa; trädissolvingmassa; barrved; viskos dop; viskosfilament; viskosprocessen; spinningprocess;

    Abstract : The textile industry is one of the largest industries in the world and it causes up to 10 % of the global greenhouse gas emissions. With large environmental issues of cotton- and oil-based textiles, other options are explored such as man-made fibers producing fibers like viscose and lyocell. READ MORE

  4. 18. Mineral wool : From landfill to a sustaianble polymer composite

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Noéll Sjöbeck; [2022]
    Keywords : recycling; sustainability; waste management; circular economy; mineral wool; construction and demolition industry; composites; polymers; återvinning; hållbarhet; avfallshantering; cirkulär ekonomi; mineralull; bygg- och rivningsindustri; kompositer; polymerer;

    Abstract : The focus of the project is recycling of the insulation material mineral wool. The aim is to investigate the potential of using post-consumer wool from landfill as fiber reinforcement in a polymer matrix. READ MORE

  5. 19. Reaching Net-Zero in the Chemical Industry - A study of roadmaps for reducing greenhouse gas emissions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Ylva Kloo; [2022]
    Keywords : Chemical industry; roadmaps; scenarios; net-zero emissions; recycling; biobased feedstock; CCU; CCS; electrification; efficiency improvements; framework conditions; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Following the decision set by the EU of a net-zero greenhouse gas emission target for 2050, several industries have made roadmaps for how these reductions will be achieved. This thesis investigates the chemical industry roadmaps in order to assess how they envision their role in reaching the EU target. READ MORE

  6. 20. Devulcanization and reuse of peroxide cured EPDM rubber for a greener world

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Emelie Broman; [2021]
    Keywords : Peroxide devulcanization; Reuse; Waste management; Participatory Action Research; Design Thinking; Peroxid devulkanisering; återanvändning; avfallshantering; Participatory Action Research; Design Thinking;

    Abstract : Waste management of vulcanized rubber is a serious environmental problem as the molecular structure formed during the process complicates recycling. Due to this, researchers have developed a process that can break the strong bonds and return the rubber to its original state. READ MORE
