Abstract

AbstractIn today’s world, the management of plastic waste is the biggest environmental challenge. Increased production of plastic solid waste (PSW) materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE), nylon, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), etc., are creating new challenges to researchers and also encouraging new areas of research. Landfilling of PSW is one of the ancient methods of managing the plastic waste but it produces methane gas which causes global warming. So, recycling is the only way to reduce the PSW. This paper explains various separation and recycling techniques for PSW along with different techniques of additive manufacturing (AM) that can accommodate these waste materials to some extent.KeywordsPlastic solid wasteHigh-density polyethyleneAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)Polycarbonate (PC)Additive manufacturing
