Closing material loops for the housing of electronic equipment remains a particular technical challenge because of the common use of Flame Retardant (FR) plastics. Within an industrial collaboration, series of experiments ...

Recycling is a process carried out in the transformation of products. This can be done mechanically, chemically and energetically. In each of the defined types there are different processes, as well as the final products ...

Annually 2.7 million tonnes of plastics containing Flame Retardants (FRs) are globally discarded in Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Little is known on the feasibility of closing material loops for FR ...

The plastic due to its versatility, variety of applications, price and durability has greatly increased its use worldwide and can cause much damage to the environment because it takes about hundreds of years to undo, ...

Annually 2.7 million tonnes of plastics containing Flame Retardants (FRs) are globally discarded in Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Little is known on the feasibility of closing material loops for FR ...

A gradient plasticity theory is extended to predict the mechanical failure behavior of concrete with recycled aggregates. A relevant feature of the novel constitutive formulation is its full consistency with the thermodynamic ...

The problem being investigated was to develop an economical, environmentally friendly, and quality panel made from recycled plastics. The objective of this work was to contribute to decontaminating the environment, and to ...
