The book provides clear explanations for newcomers to the subject as well as contemporary details and theory for the experienced user in plastics waste management. It 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. Plastics Waste Management 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. This groundbreaking book: Identifies deficiencies in plastics waste management Extrapolates from experiences to draw some conclusions about plastics waste for persistence Describes methods how the waste related processing techniques should be used in recycling Shows how the consumer and industry can assess the performance of plastics waste management Explains waste utilization by recycling techniques as well as waste reduction Life cycle assessment as an important technique for recycling of persistent plastics waste. Audience The 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.

Thermoforming: Processing and Technology is a comprehensive resource about the rapidly developing field of the thermoforming process. It's an updated edition, including new, fully revised chapters and updated information on materials and thermoforming processes. Every page keeps readers engaged with the various types of thermoplastic materials and their impact on the final product. This book is a knowledgeable source for practitioners and students on background information, industry aspects, and an overview of the thermoforming process and technology. Read and learn about a wide range of topics related to thermoforming. Chapters provide perspective on the technologies involved. It also contains flowcharts to assist in correcting thermoforming processes. Additionally, look at insights into different thermoforming techniques to ensure product quality and avoid common defects and any troubleshooting issues during the process.

Because it is critically important to manufacture quality products, a reasonable balance must be drawn between control requirements and parameters for improved processing method with respect to plastics additives.
