  2. 1. Logistics systems for recycling : on the influence of products, structures, relationships and power

    Author : Maria Huge Brodin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : logistics systems; recycling; products structures; relationships; power; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The environmental trend, and environmental legislation, has during the past decade grown stronger, and with it the focus on environmental issues within many fields of research and practice. This has implications for logistics, and the focus in this dissertation is on the logistics systems that are needed to realise recycling of end-of-life products: logistics systems for recycling (LSRs).

  4. 2. Interest in Material Cycle Closure? Exploring Evolution of Industry's Responses to High-grade Recycling from an Industrial Ecology Perspective

    Author : Philip Peck; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; polymers; vehicles; ELV; extended producer responsibility; chemical recycling; material cycling; material flows; closed-loop recycling; Industrial Ecology; recycling; aluminium.; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp;

    Abstract : Many anthropogenically-produced or beneficiated materials contained in “end-of-life” products retain a great proportion of the invested manufacturing work when discarded. Very few such materials are reconstituted and applied in new products at the same material inherent quality level as in their first lifetime – a process known as “closed-loop recycling”. READ MORE

  5. 3. Understanding the Recycling Behaviour of Householders in Multicultural Urban Areas:Case Study Järva, Stockholm

    Author : Sviatlana Miafodzyeva; Maria Malmström; Nils Brandt; Javier R. Viguri Fuente; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Waste management; household waste; recycling behaviour; motivation; multiculturalism; multicultural urban area; social survey;

    Abstract : Separating household waste into fractions at source is a common method of household waste collection in most European countries. In 1994 Sweden introduced producer liability legislation for packaging, which requires householders to sort, clean and recycle different types of packaging waste. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of Simulated Recycling on Polyolefin Materials

    Author : Anna Jansson; RISE; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; recycling; oxidation; degradation; polyolefins;

    Abstract : Production and handling of waste is a matter of concern in most countries, and one way to reduce the amount of waste is recycling. Since synthetic polymers are made from non- renewable resources and are used in large amounts, often for short periods of time, they should be recycled in a sustainable society. READ MORE

  7. 5. Investigations of binder rejuvenation related to asphalt recycling

    Author : Robert Karlsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : bitumen; rejuvenator; diffusion; ageing; aging; asphalt recycling; FTIR-ATR; RAP; structural stability; Hansen solubility parameters;

    Abstract : Investigations described in this doctoral thesis concernmaterial behaviour related to asphalt recycling. More indetail, the thesis describes development and application ofmethods for characterisation of the rejuvenation process, inwhich old and new binders are mixed. READ MORE
