Feedstock recycling of plastics. Selected papers presented at the third International Symposium on Feedstock Recycling of Plastics, Karlsruhe, Sept. 25-29, 2005

Feedstock Recycling of Plastics gives a survey of actual fundamental and applied research. It consists of selected contributions that were presented during the Third International Symposium on Feedstock Recycling of Plastics & other Innovative Plastics Recycling Techniques in Karlsruhe (Germany), 2005.

The following fundamental issues of feedstock recycling are covered:
- Pyrolysis or solvolysis
- Pyrolysis: Processes - Strategies - Usages - Modelling
- Pyrolysis/Solvolysis of halogen containing plastics or plastic mixtures
- Thermal degradation/Solvolysis under unconventional conditions or catalytically enforced
- Synthesis gas production by means of gasification or of partial oxidation
- Energy derived from plastics, rubber, and other high caloric waste streams
- Innovative techniques in mechanical recycling - Studies and experiences with logistic and economic factors - Developing suitable outlets for materials and products obtained
- Life Cycle Assessment and Risk Management in plastic recycling
