5. 4. The dark truth behind plastic waste trade, the consequences of the Chinese import ban & the environmental damage of plastic waste trade using Life Cycle Assessment.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Olivia Lundmark; [2021]
   Keywords : Chinese import ban; Life Cycle Assessment; Plastic waste; Plastic waste trade; Science General;

   Abstract : In recent years, plastic waste trade has received increasing attention due to huge amounts ending up in countries with high rates of mismanaged plastic waste and the environmental damage of plastic pollution. The EU has been exporting plastic waste to China for recycling purposes due to insufficient domestic recycling capacities, until 2018, when China decided to ban all imports of plastic waste.

6. 5. Design and Modelling of a Container for Optimal Flow Rate and Wastewater Purification

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Olle Stenlund; [2021]
   Keywords : CFD Simulation; Design; Construction; Pumping System; Water purification;

   Abstract :   Industries are becoming more aware of how they use water in their production process. In many cases, they release wastewater back into the water supply untreated, which can cause adverse side effects to the ecosystem. A sustainable environment requires efficient water purification. One approach to purify wastewater uses rotating bed reactors. READ MORE
