Utilization of Waste Plastic - Processing Technology & Applications

Plastic, the most versatile and wonder material, is the product of spectacular developments in the area of polymer science and technology. The penetration and acceptance of plastics into the social network is so high that it is now difficult to conceive a world without plastics. The very factors that popularize plastics in our modern life are in fact a threat also to our very survival. The extreme durability of plastic defies the natural recycling process of the biosphere. Chemically, it is the most non-biodegradable material man has ever produced. This book covers the different techniques, which can be employed to tackle the problem of waste plastic scrap like polyethylene used in packaging materials, LDPE bags, poly propylene, high density polyethylene. Focus will be onto how these problems of waste plastic bags can be solved by designing paver tiles, interlock floor tiles and roof tiles.
