A Review on Recycling of Waste PET Plastics for Manufacturing Composite Materials
摘要
According to the recent survey conducted regarding the production, disposal, and recycling aspects related to the plastics, about 80% of the plastic materials produced are disposed after use. About 20% of the plastics disposed are recycled. Polyethylene terephthalate—PET—is a widely used thermoplastic material for manufacturing synthetic textile fiber, containers, for storing food items and glass fiber-reinforced composites. The issues related to the PET-based composites are reviewed.
