"&#8230;<i>an accessible treatment of this crucial area</i>&#8230;" (Materials World, May 2003)&#160;&#160;&#160; <p> In light of new regulations in the EU, America, and Japan, polymer producers have been forced to recycle. This book provides discussion on the impact of reusing polymers such as plastic and rubber on the environment. <ul type="disc"> <li>Timely information on the environmental impact of polymer recycling <li>Each chapter contains relevant sample questions and answers <li>Contains chapters on the economics and legislation of recycling, and on LCA <li>Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of polymer recycling </ul> <p> Essential reading for students, as well as an invaluable reference guide for technologists and industrialists, in the vast arena of environmental and polymer sciences.
Industry Reviews

“This book is a very useful and up-to-date account of the role of polymers in modern society, considering relevant implications of their use, production and disposal throughout their life cycle. The book is clear and well organized following a logical evolution according to the life cycle of polymers. The remarkable characteristic of this book is that it is almost written as a tale, concise and precise, without lacking detail and providing reliable scientific data.”  (International Journal of Environmental Studies, 10 January 2011)

"...this book provides a study-aid, yet also a comprehensive and current reference tool." (Rapra Abstracts)
