Abstract Submission

Objectives and Topics

The symposium focuses on advanced recycling strategies of polymers and complex waste streams to create circular solutions.

Thermochemical conversion of polymers and mixed plastic waste
Integration of mechanical and chemical recycling
Circular solutions for complex waste streams: e.g. WEEE andcomposite materials
Process evaluation: Life cycle assessment, techno-economic analysis
Depolymerization with solvolysis based technologies
Waste feedstock pre-treatment and product upgrading
Process efficiency & utilization of by-products: carbon material recovery valorization of solids process electrification etc.
Catalyst design and application for chemical recycling
Fate and management of contaminants in recycling processes: halogen carriers heavy metals persistent organic pollutants etc.
Process modeling and simulation
Process scale-up and industrial demonstration
