Plastic products make our daily life safe, healthy and convenient. Besides all the benefits, the current plastics economy gives rise to environmental concerns with respect to fossil oil depletion and plastic waste accumulation. In a circular economy, however, plastics can be redesigned for reusability and recyclability. This book makes the topic of sustainable plastics approachable for students and career starters alike, describing the nature and chemistry of (bio)polymers as well as how to create a closed loop of plastic materials. The new edition expands on vitrimers, microplastics, recycling and examples. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscusses \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe new plastics economy \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003echemistry and properties of polymers \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebiodegradable plastics and polymers from renewable resources \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eand plastics recycling. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45161691938967,"sku":"9783111200293","price":7158.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783111200293.webp?v=1768570116","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/plastics-in-the-circular-economy-9783111200293","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
