Plastics in Waste Management
摘要
In recent years, plastics have gained a bad reputation associated with the impact of post-consumer plastic waste on the environment. The less amplified impact of plastics includes the application of plastics in the management of waste in the different fields discussed herein. Membranes used in oil–water separation in the management of industrial wastes, container-based sanitation systems that serve as sustainable alternatives to traditional flush-based systems, and the widespread use of plastic containers in waste disposal are some of the areas discussed within the chapter.
