2. Evaluation of Woodmer/plastic composites
University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologiAbstract : Plast ger otroliga möjligheter i form av stor variation för materialanvändning. Tyvärr sker det dock på bekostnad av miljön då de ackumuleras i naturen. En kompromiss mellan hållbarhet och fortsatt plastanvändning skulle kunna vara att använda biomassa som fyllnadsmaterial i plastkompositer istället för plast. READ MORE

4. Recycling methods for glass fibre-reinforced plastic polymers : Glass fibre composites in a circular economy?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntesAbstract : 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

5. Engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin.
