| Abstract | Plastic pollution poses a serious risk globally and is having a major adverse impact on nearly every marine and freshwater ecosystem on the planet. The plastic trash collected from the marine environment, can harm marine ecosystems and humans. While there are several challenges to manufacture products from recycled marine plastics, including a high price and consumer demand for high-quality recycled materials, efforts, and research to recycle marine plastics are critical. One promising application of recycled marine plastics is blending recycled polyethylene terephthalate (re-PET) with other polymers, such as polycarbonate (PC), to reproduce desired physical properties in composites. In this study, we investigated the optimal ratio of PC and ocean-bound plastic (OBP), recycled PET (re-PET) as a composite material suitable for sustainable electronic device covers, and analyzed its physicochemical properties. The results showed that PC/re-PET5 composites containing 5% re-PET recycled from OBP had the most suitable properties for electronic device covers. Developing composite materials using recycled plastics represents a promising stride towards advancing the principles of a circular economy and fostering sustainable product design. |
