Characterisation of excavated plastics for thermochemical upcycling to platform chemicals and liquid fuels

Canopoli, Luisa; Fidalgo Fernandez, Beatriz; Wagland, Stuart T. (2018-2-28)

In Europe there are ~500,000 landfills; plastics represent a consistent and significant proportion of waste in landfill (typically 5-25% w/w). This fraction remains in the landfill, along with other non-biodegradable ...
Degradation of excavated polyethylene and polypropylene waste from landfill

Canopoli, Luisa; Coulon, Frederic; Wagland, Stuart T. (Elsevier, 2019-08-26)

In 2016, it was estimated that 7.4 million tonnes of plastic waste have been disposed in landfill in Europe. This waste represents an important opportunity for resource recovery through enhanced landfill mining consistent ...
Developing the case for enhanced landfill mining in the UK

Wagland, Stuart T.; Coulon, Frederic; Canopoli, Luisa (CISA Publisher, 2019-02-07)

Across the UK there are around 22,000 landfills sites, suggesting a significant opportunity for recovering value from previously discarded materials. Enhanced landfill mining (ELFM) has been identified as a concept to ...
Physico-chemical properties of excavated plastic from landfill mining and current recycling routes

Canopoli, Luisa; Fidalgo, Beatriz; Coulon, Frederic; Wagland, Stuart T. (Elsevier, 2018-04-02)

In Europe over 5.25 billion tonnes of waste has been landfilled between 1995 and 2015. Among this large amount of waste, plastic represents typically 5–25 wt% which is significant and has the potential to be recycled and ...
Upcycling of plastics recovered from enhanced landfill mining through pyrolysis.

Canopoli, Luisa (Cranfield UniversitySWEE, 2020-03)

Since 1950 the global plastics production increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8.5 % and it is expected to grow in the next 5 years at a CAGR of about 4 %. The estimated amount of plastics that ended ...
