     \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe book provides clear explanations for newcomers to the subject as well as contemporary details and theory for the experienced user in plastics waste management.\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is seldom that a day goes by without another story or photo regarding the problem of plastics waste in the oceans or landfills. While important efforts are being made to clear up the waste, this book looks at the underlying causes and focuses on plastics waste management. Plastics manufacturers have been slow to recognize their environmental impact compared with more directly polluting industries. However, the environmental pressures concerning plastics have forced the industry to examine their own recycling operations and implement plastics waste management. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlastics Waste Management\u003c/i\u003e realizes two ideals: That all plastics should be able to persist for as long as plastics are required, and that all plastics are recycled in a uniform manner regardless of the length of time for which it persists. The book examines plastics waste management and systems for the environment, as well the management approaches and techniques which are appropriate for managing the environment. It serves as an excellent and thoughtful plastics waste management handbook. \u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking book: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIdentifies deficiencies in plastics waste management\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtrapolates from experiences to draw some conclusions about plastics waste for persistence\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes methods how the waste related processing techniques should be used in recycling\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows how the consumer and industry can assess the performance of plastics waste management\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains waste utilization by recycling techniques as well as waste reduction\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLife cycle assessment as an important technique for recycling of persistent plastics waste.\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is a must read for all in plastics engineering, waste management, environmental and sustainable sciences and engineering. In particular, industrial manufacturing companies that use plastics as a material should have this book. |
