| Contents | The course aims to illustrate the main processes and methods for the recovery and recycling of polymeric materials: the aspects to be considered in the management of a plastics recycling process, the degradation phenomena in the processing and service life of plastics, the classification of recycling technologies (primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary) and examples of applications of recycled plastics. Emphasis will be placed on the definition of sustainability of polymeric materials, processes and production of polymers from renewable sources, biodegradability of polymeric materials, use of natural polymers and synthesis of biodegradable polymers. |

| Contents | Il corso è finalizzato all’apprendimento dei principi di base che portano al recupero di materie prime seconde dal ciclo degli scarti industriali, dei rifiuti e dei sottoprodotti nell’ottica dei principi dell'economia circolare. Il programma è incentrato sui seguenti argomenti: Gestione dei rifiuti e contesto normativo; Classificazione dei rifiuti; Raccolta differenziata; Classificazione delle differenti frazioni; Trattamenti per il recupero ed il riciclaggio delle diverse frazioni. |
