Challenges and opportunities of reusing non-recyclable materials in the context of climate change mitigation

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper explores the potential application of innovative recycling technologies for non-recyclable composite and mixed plastics, offering a sustainable solution in the fight against climate change. An eco-column, made from recycled materials with both circular and square cross-sections, was developed, and its bending resistance was tested to evaluate its ability to replace traditional structures made from wood, concrete, metal, or other materials. By reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and lowering plastic production, this approach contributes to mitigating climate change.
