19 lip 2017 · Plastics have outgrown most man-made materials and have long been under environmental scrutiny. However, robust global information, particularly about their end-of-life fate, is lacking. By identifying and synthesizing dispersed data on production, use, and end-of-life management of polymer resins, synthetic fibers, and additives, we present ...
13 sie 2024 · Scientific and public attention has highlighted the complex chemical composition of materials classified as plastics 1, 2, 3 and the risks associated with exposure to the voluminous, diverse...
Encyclopedia of Materials: Plastics and Polymers, Four Volume Set covers plastics and polymeric materials, including their fundamental properties, current and potential future application areas in various private, public, commercial and industrial sectors, and their biodegradability, reusability and disposability.
25 sty 2022 · Chemistry plays a determining role in every stage of the plastic life cycle. We reflect on the challenges and limitations of plastics — their sheer abundance, chemodiversity and imperfect...
2 lip 2021 · Acknowledging plastics as geomaterials and adopting geochemical insights and methods can expedite our understanding of plastics in the Earth system. Plastics also can be used as global-scale tracers to advance Earth system science.
14 lis 2024 · Both responses not only reduce plastic waste mismanagement, but also lead to gross reductions in GHG emissions from plastic production, conversion, and disposal. A production cap at 2020 levels would drive 2050 GHG emissions from 3.35 (3.09 - 3.54) to 2.76 (2.55 - 2.91) Gt CO 2 e, the largest gross reduction we observed.
