Tire Waste and Recycling


Book Description

Tire Waste and Recycling takes a methodical approach to the recycling of tires, providing a detailed understanding on how to manage, process, and turn waste tires into valuable materials and industrial applications. Sections cover fundamental aspects such as tire use, composition, trends, legislation, the current global situation, the possibilities for moving towards a circular economy, lifecycle options, treatment methods, and opportunities for re-use, recycling and recovery. Subsequent sections of the book focus on specific technologies that enable the utilization of waste tires in the development of high value materials and advanced applications. Finally, the future of tire recycling is considered. This is an essential resource for scientists, R&D professionals, engineers and manufacturers working in the tire, rubber, waste, recycling, automotive and aerospace industries. In academia, the book will be of interest to researchers and advanced scientists across rubber science, polymer science, materials engineering, environmental science, chemistry and chemical engineering. - Offers systematic coverage of tire recycling, covering composition, lifecycle, processing options, material developments and latest technologies - Explains end-of-life-options in detail, considering approaches and methods for reduction, re-use, recycling and recovery - Explores key application and product areas for recycled tire materials, from civil engineering, sports and leisure, to roads and transport, construction, automotive, and many more




Tyre Recycling


Book Description

This is an expert overview on the topic of tyre recycling. It summarises current practices and the factors that have contributed to their growth and efficacy as viable, economically and environmentally sound methods of dealing with post-consumer tyres. The primary area of study of this report is the EU, but reports from the US have also been cited. Statistics from the EU markets, which illustrate changes in the industry since the inception of the European Tyre Recycling Association a decade ago are incorporated. Around 400 references with abstracts from recent global literature accompany this review, sourced from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading. A subject index and a company index are included.




Recycling and Reuse of Used Tyres


Book Description

Substantial quantities of used tyres are being discarded annually throughout the world and this is likely to increase in line with the growth in road traffic. Given the environmental economic implications of this waste, the many regulating bodies world-wide are actively promoting policies aimed at recycling and reuse of the material for recovery as a valuable resource. However, in many parts of the world, recycled tyre technology is still in its infancy.This book presents the proceedings of an International Symposium organised by the Concrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee which brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the field of used tyre recycling.




Recycling of Rubber


Book Description

This report contains a review of technologies used within the rubber recycling industry. The development practical application, advantages and disadvantages of the individual processes are detailed as well as the characteristics and performance of the end products. Applications of recycled rubbers, with and without other materials are discussed and future trends in rubber recycling are evaluated briefly. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.







Sustainable Waste Management and Recycling


Book Description

Proceedings of the International Conference organised by the Concrete and Masonry Research Group and held at Kingston University - London at 14-15 September 2004 With the introduction of waste legislation, in the form of regulations and directives, in many parts of the world a significant move towards sustainable waste management is becoming a legal requirement. Emphasisis now being placed on increasing recycling and promoting more sustainable waste management practices, and greater co-ordination between the public, private and independent sectors, and all concerned with the management of waste and reusable materials.




Waste Treatment and Disposal


Book Description

Integrated pollution control and waste minimization. Sewage and industrial effluents. Landfill. Emissions to the atmosphere. Recycling waste meterials-opportunities and barriers. Disposal of nuclear fuel waste. The economics of waste management.




Cents and Sustainability


Book Description

Cents and Sustainability is a clear-sighted response to the 1987 call by Dr Gro Brundtland in Our Common Future to achieve a new era of economic growth that is 'forceful and at the same time socially and environmentally sustainable'. The Brundtland Report argued that not only was it achievable, but that it was an urgent imperative in order to achieve a transition to sustainable development while significantly reducing poverty and driving 'clean and green' investment. With some still arguing for significantly slowing economic growth in order to reduce pressures on the environment, this new book.




Improving Recycling Markets


Book Description

Markets for many classes of recyclable materials are growing, but market failures and barriers are constraining some markets. This report presents the case for the use of 'industrial' policies which address such market failures and barriers.




The Use of Economic Instruments in Nordic Environmental Policy 2006-2009


Book Description

The Nordic Council of Ministers publishes regular overview reports on the use of economic instruments in Nordic environmental policy. In this report, Part I presents an overview of the use of economic instruments with the main focus on changes during the years 2006 - 2009. Part II gives a brief overview of mixes of policy instruments (also other than economic instruments) and presents two case studies. There are generally few changes in the use of economic instruments since 2006, except for the introduction of the emissions trading system, EU ETS, and changes in vehicle registration tax systems to become more based on specific fuel use or CO2 emissions. In general, the tax systems could be made more effective and efficient by treating different sectors and fuels more equally.
