  1. 6. 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. 7. Fabrication of 3D-Printable Filament using Recycled Thermoplastics and Recycled Fillers

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Nithin Nagendra; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This degree project was performed in collaboration with ECORUB AB. Polymeric materials like thermoplastic and rubber are produced in massive quantities all over the world. However, the percentage of items that are recycled is quite low. READ MORE

  4. 8. Novel materials from lignocellulosic sources- can they replace thermoplastics?

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Emmy Albinsson; Helina Tafesse Belachew; Jasmin Swaich; Hannah Juhlin; [2021]
    Keywords : Emulisonspolymerisation; Biobaserade plaster; Hållbarhet; Polymerer; Bearbetad halm; Kompositer; PISA-raft;

    Abstract : Plastic waste is a severe environmental problem in today's society which has been noticed and discussed during the last couple of years. A constant increase of production over the last decades hasled to a large amount of plastic waste ending up in oceans as microplastics. READ MORE

  5. 9. Engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Tova Lindh; [2021]
    Keywords : Applied microbiology; Bioplastics; Rhodosporidium toruloides; Polyhydroxybutyrate; Non-conventional yeast; Oleaginous yeast; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : 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.
