Title The paradigm in conversion of plastic waste into value added materials
Year 2021
Published
Abstract The global proliferation of plastic waste is a dire concern as fumble wastes in the environment degrade plastics into smaller fragments that pose a prodigious menace to biota. Plastics are persistent due to their inherent properties which have found omnipresent applications in automotive, electronics, energy, adhesives, household components, paints, coatings, and the myriad of medical fields, etc. Nevertheless, plastics have a caliginous side. However, plausible methods and cogent techniques to deal with emerging plastic wastes have not been established which results in the amalgamation of waste creating havoc. The cognizance of fostering and sharing of actual management of plastic wastes involving harmonization of specific standards and practices could assist inappropriate management of plastic wastes. Moreover, the conversion of plastic waste into a gamut of applications such as energy recovery, components of building construction, production of nanomaterials, evolve novel monomers, etc could be a propitious endeavor for mankind. Nevertheless, the diminution of ubiquitous concern should headway from the end-of-pipe approach to pre-emptive strategies by utilizing the plastic wastes into intrinsic applications or by eradicating the single-use plastics. This exploration will proffer a vision in the conversion of waste into gimmick applications useful for mankind and to contemplate whether recycling is the only magic bullet or we could utilize it head-on.
