Scope of the Symposium

The symposium encompasses all topics related to the recycling and recovery of polymeric waste like waste plastics (municipal, industrial, production, process, e-waste) and biomass.

Chemical Feedstock
Mechanical recycling of waste plastics
Thermo-chemical recycling (pyrolysis, gasification, combustion etc.) for industrial, municipal plastic waste and biomass
Biological routes for industrial, municipal plastic waste and biomass (biogas, bio-alcohols, etc.)
Recovery of organics, inorganics, and metals from composite materials (CFRP, solar batteries and panels, etc.)
E-waste treatment techniques
Polymer waste management
Legislation in waste management
Sustainability – LCA studies
Polymeric waste availability and conversion methods – statistics and strategies
Socio-economic questions of recycling
Marine microplastics
etc.
