1. Plastic Waste and Recycling: Environmental Impact, Societal Issues, Prevention, and Solutions
2020 by Trevor M. Letcher
"Plastic Waste and Recycling: Environmental Impact, Societal Issues, Prevention, and Solutions" commences by introducing various plastic materials, their diverse applications, and the fundamental principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle. It subsequently delves into the intricate world of plastics, exploring their types, chemical properties, and patterns of degradation, meticulously categorized into non-degradable plastics, degradable and biodegradable plastics, biopolymers, and bioplastics. The book also addresses pressing contemporary challenges surrounding plastic waste, elucidates the origins of this waste and the pathways it takes into the environment, and offers comprehensive coverage of methodologies for plastic waste management. These methods encompass mechanical processing, monomerization, the utilization of blast furnace feedstocks, gasification, thermal recycling, and conversion into valuable fuels. With its wealth of insights, this guide proves indispensable for individuals engaged in the realms of plastic waste and recycling, catering to researchers and advanced students in fields ranging from plastics engineering and polymer science to polymer chemistry, environmental science, and sustainable materials.

2. Automotive Recycling, Plastics, and Sustainability: The Recycling Renaissance
2017 by David Schönmayr
This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the automotive plastics industry, encompassing insights, forecasts, scenarios, and strategies for achieving corporate sustainability objectives. Authored by an expert in sustainability rather than plastics, it addresses the industry's challenge of transitioning to a sustainable economy. While the automotive sector traditionally focuses on reducing CO2 emissions during vehicle operation, the increasing use of lightweight plastics, electric propulsion, and large batteries has shifted attention to the production and end-of-life phases. Consequently, the surge in unsustainable virgin plastics in automobiles must be addressed. This book presents a holistic view of sustainability and automotive plastics, covering economic, ecological, technological, and political aspects, with a European focus. It provides concise analyses, forecasts, tools, and a roadmap for companies, developed in collaboration with international experts from academia and industry. Supported by rigorous research, including a Europe-wide survey, expert interviews, and workshops, the book includes numerous illustrations and tables to enhance understanding. Each chapter concludes with an executive summary for quick reference.
