Industrial Applications of Renewable Plastics: Environmental, Technological, and Economic Advances

Industrial Applications of Renewable Plastics: Environmental, Technological, and Economic Advances?provides practical information to help engineers and materials scientists deploy renewable plastics in the plastics market.\n\nIt explores the uses, possibilities, and problems of renewable plastics and composites to assist in material selection and rejection. The designer?s main problems are examined, along with basic reminders that deal with structures and processing methods that can help those who are generally familiar with metals understand the unique properties of plastic materials.The book offers a candid overview of main issues, including conservation of fossil resources, geopolitical considerations, greenhouse effects, competition with food crops, deforestation, pollution, and disposal of renewable plastics. In addition, an overview of some tools related to sustainability (Life cycle assessments, CO2 emissions, carbon footprint, and more) is provided.Industrial Applications of Renewable Plastics: Environmental, Technological, and Economic Advances is written by Michel Biron and published by William Andrew Publishing.
