  1. 1. Prospects for standardisation of industrial PET plastics to support the transition towards a circular economy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Agnes Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Standard; standardisation; industrial PET; polyethylene terephthalate; circular economy; plastic; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Plastkonsumtionen har ökat markant över tid och har utvecklats till ett viktigt material i dagens samhälle, men med utmaningen att råvaran främst kommer från fossila källor. Användningen av plast är i linje med den linjära ekonomin och den så kallade slit-och-släng-kulturen, vilket bidrar till felaktig hantering av plastavfall och en ineffektiv användning av resurser.

  3. 2. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluating the feasibility of chitosan as an adhesive for wood laminates and as a matrix for transparent wood

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Nihar Sakhadeo; [2023]
    Keywords : Transparent wood; Chitosan; Biobased adhesives; Biopolymers; Laminate; Transparent trä; Kitosan; Biobaserad adhesiv; Biopolymer; Laminat;

    Abstract : En av grundpelarna i alla hållbara system är införandet av en cirkulär ekonomi, som främjar återanvändning och återvinning av material. Plast är en av i utmaning i detta avseende på grund av den stora produktionsvolymen variation i sorter och långsamma nedbrytn. READ MORE

  5. 4. Qualitative Analysis of Chlorinated Paraffins in Recycled Plastics

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Solal GAUDIN; [2023]
    Keywords : Short chain Chlorinated Paraffins SCCP Medium chain Chlorinated Paraffins MCCP Long chain Chlorinated Paraffins LCCP Recycled plastics Qualitative analysis Bioaccumulation Long range transport Gas Chromatography – Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Described in many studies as dangerous for the environment and potentially carcinogenic for humans, Chlorinated Paraffins (CPs) are easily widespread due to their substantial production and use in different products. Previous studies reported the presence of CPs in different plastic polymers. READ MORE

  6. 5. Varnishing of Fiber-based Closures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Nisha Sunil David; [2023]
    Keywords : Varnishing; fiber-based closures; water-based spray coating; packaging; repulpability ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This research aims to investigate water-based varnishes and technologies to coat fiber-based closures to attain water barrier properties. To ensure recyclability the repulpability of coated and uncoated lids is tested. The research approach is exploratory. READ MORE
