Achieving a Sustainable Metals Market for the Manufacturing Industry

Warren T., Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation, US

Metals are a key resource in today’s manufacturing processes. However, the environmental costs of procuring and processing new metals can potentially set companies back in their endeavors to be more environmentally friendly, while also increasing [...]

By-product Synergy Networks, Driving Innovation through Waste Reduction and Carbon Mitigation

Mangan A., Olivetti E., US Business Council on Sustainable Development, US

By-product synergy (BPS) is the matching of under-valued waste or by-product streams from one facility with potential users at another facility to create new revenues or savings with potential social and environmental benefits. This presentation [...]

Study of model contaminants desorption from recycled PET in dry air and nitrogen atmosphere by thermogravimetric analysis

Santos A.S.F., Agnelli J.A.M., Medeiros E.S., Corradini E., Manrich S., Institute for Technological Research, BR

The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle-to-bottle recycling is a good example of a successful technology that has allowed an increase of recycled plastic market. Nevertheless, the capability of all these processes to decontaminate recycled plastics into [...]
