| description | Plastics are the most essential commodities in the world and are replacing the metals, wood, glass, cements and other materials in some application areas. Plastics are easy handling, resource-saving, non-toxic with esthetically attractive. Oil and gas are the major feedstocks for plastics, besides sugar and corn as renewable feedstocks. Plastics represent a serious waste-handling problem, with only 10%–12% of the plastic waste generated worldwide being regenerated/recycled. After disposal, plastic waste takes very long time to decompose naturally and impact the environment during the degradation process. The above situation has necessitated the invention of efficient technologies for regeneration and recovery of plastics all over the world. |
