    Author : Elsa Ottosson; Rania Oweini; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular Economy; Circular Business Models; Closed Loop Supply Chain; Single Use Plastic; EU-directive; Small and medium sized enterprise; Post Consumer Plastic Waste;

    Abstract : Single use plastic products (SUPs) are a primary cause of plastic pollution causing significant environmental harm. These products have little to no value after use and are challenging to recycle cost efficiently. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  6. 5. Beyond PET: An Extended Deposit-Return System for Plastic Packaging in Sweden : A Qualitative Investigation of Challenges and Lessons from future and earlier Deposit-Return Systems

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Marco Suter; [2019]
    Keywords : Deposit-Return System DRS ; plastic packaging;

    Abstract : Collection rates and recycling rates of plastic packaging are considerably lower than for other packaging materials in Sweden. In the context of a circular economy, higher plastic packaging recycling rates could contribute to increased resource efficiency and lowered greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE
