Plastic recycling has an obstacle from heterogeneous composition of plastic mixtures, which
can be rectified by separation based on their different chemical and physical properties …

Recycling and utilization of plastic waste are receiving more and more attention, and the
combination of spectroscopic techniques and machine learning is expected to solve the …

The extensive use of plastics leads to the release and diffusion of microplastics. Household
plastic products occupy a large part and are closely related to daily life. Due to the small size …

In this study, we report a simple, cost-effective technique to absorb electromagnetic (EM)
waves using Ramphal (Annona reticulata) leaves ash. The structural and physical …

Materials recovery facilities (MRFs) require new automated technologies if growing recycling
demands are to be met. Current optical screening devices use visible (VIS) and near …

Whether plastic packaging waste is disposed of in different bins (source separation, S) or in
a single bin (post source separation, P) is generally assumed to impact the waste stream's …

To investigate changes in the physical and chemical properties of high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) upon the rapid release of hydrogen gas at a pressure of 90 MPa, several …

One solution to minimizing plastic pollution is to improve reuse and recycling strategies.
Recycling, however, is limited by the overall degradation of plastics being used, and current …

This study proposes a simple approach for the recognition of polyamide 6.9 samples
differing in impurity amounts and viscosities (modulated during the synthesis), which are …

The performance and degradation of nonwoven mulches made from viscose, jute, hemp
fibers, and their blends with PLA fibers, subjected to field conditions, are investigated. This …
