Overview

This research demonstrates waste glass and plastics can be valorized through a circular economy model, highlighting effective recycling methods and material transformations.

Key Points

  • Foam glass was created from contaminated waste glass, achieving low-cost recycling that enhances resource recovery.
  • The optimum MnO2/SiC ratio of 1.0 was determined, influencing foam glass density through statistical analysis.
  • Thermal treatment of waste polyethylene plastics yielded usable polyethylene wax, with melting temperatures suitable for industry application.
  • Integrated management of waste streams enabled the development of a viable circular economy model for glass recycling.
