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
