Lorsque vous déposez votre canette diet coke ou le journal d’hier dans le bac de recyclage, où va-t-il ? Probablement à l’autre bout du monde, pour les gens et les endroits qui nettoient ce que vous ne voulez pas et le transformer en quelque chose que vous ne pouvez pas attendre pour acheter. Dans Junkyard Planet, Adam Minter- journaliste vétéran et fils d’un propriétaire de dépotoir américain- voyage profondément dans une vaste, souvent caché, industrie de plusieurs milliards de dollars qui transforme notre économie et l’environnement. Minter nous emmène des opérations chinoises de recyclage informatique back-alley à des installations de haute technologie capables de traiter la valeur d’un jumbo jet de déchets recyclables tous les jours. En chemin, nous rencontrons un casting inoubliable de personnages qui ont trouvé comment construire des fortunes à partir de ce que nous jetons : Leonard Fritz, un jeune garçon « arrachage » dans les décharges de la ville de Detroit dans les années 1930 ; Johnson Zeng, un ancien ingénieur en plastique errant en Amérique à la recherche de ferraille; et Homer Lai, un barbier modeste devenu titan de la ferraille à Qingyuan, en Chine. Junkyard Planet révèle comment « passer au vert » signifie généralement faire de l’argent et pourquoi c’est souvent le choix le plus durable, même lorsque les méthodes de recyclage ne sont pas jolies. Avec un accès inégalé et un aperçu sur le commerce de la jonque, et les cadeaux explicatifs et un oeil pour le détail digne d’un John McPhee ou William Langewiesche, Minter retrace l’exportation des matières recyclables de l’Amérique et les profits massifs que la Chine et d’autres nations montantes en gagnent. Ce qui se dégage est une histoire engageante, colorée et parfois troublante de consommation, d’innovation et d’ascension d’un monde en développement qui reconnaît la valeur là où les Américains ne le font pas. Junkyard Planet révèle que nous pourrions avoir besoin d’apprendre une façon plus intelligente de sortir les ordures.

With the treatment of waste set to increase -- since the volume of waste is closely related to economic growth -- waste transport will be a major challenge in the future. This raises several issues. Should transport regulations be made more stringent and their implementation reviewed? Should the proximity principle -- incorporated in the regulations in the interests of environmental protection -- be questioned, since it prevents the consolidation of flows in sufficient volume to make the most environmentally-friendly modes of transport viable? The environmental performance of waste transport can be established only within the framework of an overall approach which incorporates all waste treatment routes. We must indeed be wary of seemingly good ideas such as "waste transport must be restricted" or "recycling is the best solution". The closure of landfills or reprocessing could well lead to a large increase in waste transport. The Round Table picks up on these issues and uses the cases of different countries to examine, in turn, developments in the waste transport sector and the statistical problems encountered in trying to understand them, the regulations applicable to the modes of transport used and their environmental performance, focusing closely on the difficulties created by the current modal split in this sector.

Use of Recycled Plastics in Eco-efficient Concrete looks at the processing of plastic waste, including techniques for separation, the production of plastic aggregates, the production of concrete with recycled plastic as an aggregate or binder, the fresh properties of concrete with plastic aggregates, the shrinkage of concrete with plastic aggregates, the mechanical properties of concrete with plastic aggregates, toughness of concrete with plastic aggregates, modulus of elasticity of concrete with plastic aggregates, durability of concrete with plastic aggregates, concrete plastic waste powder with enhanced neutron radiation shielding, and more, thus making it a valuable reference for academics and industrial researchers.
