Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
In the present investigation, the degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in marine environments, under ultraviolet (UV) radiation and saltwater conditions, was examined. HDPE debris were collected from the coastal areas nearby Korinthos, encompassing a wide range of exposure durations,...Read more

Towards sustainable plastics recycling: assessing the integrity status of polypropylene (PP) debris to recycle marine-degraded materials

(Corresponding) Lourmpas N., Kyriakakis E., Efthimiadou E., Papanikos P., Lekkas D., Alexopoulos N.
Topic: 
Recycling of materials to new products
Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used polymer with significant environmental implications when improperly disposed. Effective recycling strategies for PP are crucial for mitigating plastic pollution and achieving sustainability goals. This investigation focuses on classifying PP debris based on their...Read more
