The market of biodegradable polymers is at this moment focusing on products in which biodegradability provides beneficial effects (e.g. waste-disposal, recycling) and a number of biodegradable materials is already marketed or close to market introduction and customer acceptance, as reported in Tables 2 and 3. ... 

Another factor potentially affecting the market for halogenated fire retardants is the waste disposal of plastics (see Wastes, industrial). As landfiU availabihty declines or becomes less popular, two alternatives are incineration and recycling (qv). The nature of the combustion products from halogenated products requires carefiil constmction and maintenance of incinerators (qv) to avoid damage to the incinerator itself and a pubHc health problem from the exhaust. The ease of recycling used products also has a potential effect on fire retardants. 

Waste Disposal. Because of its low Boiling poiat and high, toxicity, measures must be taken to prevent the entrance of phosgene iato drains or sewers. If recycle of phosgene is not feasible, phosgene waste can be handled by one of the decomposition methods mentioned above, ie, caustic scmbbiag, moist activated carbon towers, or combustion. 

Recycling. Beryllium is typicaUy recycled, thus it is not a waste disposal problem in fact, it is rarely a waste product at aU. Because of the high cost of producing beryUium, beryUium producers repurchase clean scrap from customers for recycling and reuse. 

Oxidation and reduction reactions can be carried out usiag reformer hydrogen and oxygen from the air. To decide when electroorganic synthesis is likely to be a viable option for a desired product, some opportunity factors are use of cheaper feedstock elimination of process step(s) or a difficult reaction avoidance of waste disposal, toxic materials, and/or abiUty to recycle reagent and abiUty to obtain products from anode and cathode. 

Waste Reduction, Recycling, Treatment, and Disposal of Hazardous Wastes The Fouith Biennial Repoii, CaUfornia, 1988, p. 110. 

Resource Recovery Act, 1970 The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was amended by Public Law 95-512, the Resources Recovery Ac4 of 1970. This act directed that the emphasis of the national solid-waste-management program should be shitted from disposal as its pri-maiy objective to that of recycling and reuse of recoverable materials in sohd wastes or the conversion of wastes to energy. 

For PM applications, wet scrubbers generate waste in the form of a slurry or wet sludge. This creates the need for both wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal. Initially, the slurry is treated to separate the solid waste from the water. The treated water can then be reused or discharged. Once the water is removed, the remaining waste will be in the form of a solid or sludge. If the solid waste is inert and nontoxic, it can generally be landfilled. Hazardous wastes will have more stringent procedures for disposal. In some cases, the solid waste may have value and can be sold or recycled. 

A sub-group of Environmental Industiy Associations that represents for-profit companies in North America providing solid, hazardous and medical waste collection, recycling and disposal sendees, remedial and oil spill clean-ups, and companies providing professional and consulting sendees to the industiy. 

The ISO 14000 series of environmental standards and their implications for the plastics industry are discussed. Aspects of ecolabelling and life cycle analysis and different options for recycling and waste disposal are examined. 

An Ecoprofile is an assessment of the environmental and resource impacts of a waste disposal process. This paper describes ecoprofiles for six different ways of disposing the plastic fraction in municipal solid waste -two material recycling processes that include separation of the plastic waste, material recycling without separation of the plastic waste, pyrolysis, incineration with heat recovery, and landfill. 17 refs. 

Researehers at the University of Kentueky estimate that, at the current rate of plasties waste disposal in the USA, over 80 million barrels of oil could be produced. Unfortunately, only 3.7% of plastics waste was recycled out of 22 million tons collected in 1990 the rest was incinerated or ended up in landfills. Details are given.
