2. 6. Mechanical and thermal properties of recycled WEEE plastic blends

   Author : Sandra Tostar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SEBS; HIPS; extrusion; WEEE; WEEEBR; melt-blending; plastics recycling; gamma irradiation; PP; ABS; compatibilization; polymer degradation;

   Abstract : Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream today, and the recycling of the plastics from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has attracted great attention recently for environmental reasons and to comply with the European Union’s (EUs) WEEE Directive. The plastics fraction in WEEE is between 20 and 35 weight % (wt%). READ MORE

4. 7. Towards recycling of scarce metals from complex products

   Author : Magnus Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; material flow analysis; Recycling; waste electrical and electronic equipment; scarce metal; end-of-life vehicle; WEEE; ELV; technological innovation system;

   Abstract : Cars and electronic equipment have come to depend on materially complex designs and are drawing attention to issues around sustainable materials management. The dependence of these products and other applications on metals that can be considered scarce, has been brought into political and scientific focus. READ MORE

5. 8. Gamma irradiation in multi-cycle ABS recycling- effects on ABS properties and the recovery of antimony

   Author : Sandra Tostar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ABS; antimony; gamma irradiation; recycling; WEEE; plastics;

   Abstract : Electronic waste, also called waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), is the fastest growing waste stream in Europe today. The fast exchange pace of mobile phones, televisions and computers creates an important need to develop recycling areas to take care of, reuse and recycle these materials. READ MORE

6. 9. Towards a Circular Economy with Environmental Product Policy : Considering dynamics in closing and slowing material loops for lighting products

   Author : Jessika Luth Richter; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extended producer responsibility; Circular Economy; critical materials; Policy Evaluation; product lifetime; lamps; lighting products; WEEE; Product Policy; ecodesign;

   Abstract : A Circular Economy (CE) can help to achieve the sustainable development goal of responsible consumption and production. Product policies, in turn, can support CE objectives by promoting reuse of products, recycling of materials, and providing ecodesign incentives for more durable products. READ MORE

7. 10. Influence of alumina on the zinc slag fuming processes : an experimental study on physical properties and leaching behaviour of the generated fayalite-type slag

   Author : Sina Mostaghel; Heikki Kusti Jaikanen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Physical properties; Thermodynamic calculations; environmental properties; Sustainable extraction; Zinc fuming; Copper; Process Metallurgy; Processmetallurgi;

   Abstract : Recycling of secondary raw materials by non-ferrous metal producers is steadily increasing. These materials inevitably introduce various impurities to the production furnaces, which can change the chemical composition, and thereafter, the physical and chemical properties of the products and by-products of the operation.
