1. 1. Developing a closed-loop supply chain to eliminate Single Use Plastic products : Implementing Circular Economy practices driven by EU commission directives

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   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

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

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

6. 5. A novel and feasible material recycling technique for end-of-life textiles as All-Cellulose Composites (ACCs)

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Belinda Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : all-cellulose composites; end-of-life textiles; denim fabrics; ionic liquid; mechanical properties; sustainability;

   Abstract : Today’s consumption of textiles generates a large volume of textile waste. Therefore, it is needed to find solutions to re-use the textile waste rather recycling fibers into new fibers. Research using pre- and post-consumer textiles in composites is ongoing and an interesting direction. READ MORE
