Abstract

How is it possible to keep the immense deposits of raw materials in buildings "active" and realise environmentally sustainable buildings in the long term? Besides "sufficiency, consistency and efficiency", this goal implies the intelligent use of resources, the recyclability of structures, circular construction methods that reuse decommissioned materials, in short "urban mining". This requires a rethink in planning and execution, thus posing a great challenge for architects and engineers. The Recycling Manual provides the necessary expertise for the associated paradigm shift in construction. In addition to successful project examples, this comprehensive and detailed guide provides in-depth explanations on calculation methods and tendering aspects. Wie gelingt es, die immensen Rohstoffvorkommen im Gebäudebestand »aktiv« zu halten und dauerhaft umweltverträgliche Gebäude zu realisieren? Neben »Suffizienz, Konsistenz und Effizienz« impliziert dieses Ziel den intelligenten Einsatz von Ressourcen, die Recyclingfähigkeit von Konstruktionen, ein kreislauffähiges Bauen, kurz: »Urban Mining« im Bauwesen. Dies erfordert ein grundsätzliches Umdenken in Planung und Ausführung - und damit eine große Herausforderung für Architekten und Ingenieure. Der Recycling Atlas liefert das nötige Fachwissen für den damit verbundenen Paradigmenwechsel im Bauen. Neben gelungenen Projektbeispielen zeigt ein umfangreicher Leitdetailkatalog relevante Bauteilanschlüsse und liefert ausführliche Erläuterungen zu Berechnungsmethoden und Ausschreibungsaspekten.

Abstract

Having a solid understanding of materials recycling is of high importance, especially due the growing use of composites in many industries and increasingly strict legislation and concerns about disposal of composites by landfill or incineration. Recycling of Plastics, Metals, and Their Composites provides a comprehensive review of the recycling of waste polymer and metal composites. It provides readers with the latest advances and covers fundamentals of recycled polymer and metal composites such as preparation, morphology, and physical, mechanical, thermal, and flame-retardancy properties. Offers a state-of-the-art review of recycling of polymer composites and metal composites for sustainability Describes a life cycle analysis to help readers understand the true potential value and market of these recycled materials Details potential applications of recycled polymer and metal composites Includes performance of natural fiber-reinforced recycled thermoplastic polymer composites under aging conditions and recycling of multi-material plastics Covers recycling technologies, opportunities, and challenges for polymer-matrix composites This work targets technical professionals working in the metal and polymer industries, as well as researchers, scientists, and advanced students. It is also of interest to decision makers at material suppliers, recycled metal and polymer product manufacturers, and governmental agencies working with recycled metal and polymer composites.

Abstract

Energy from Waste is a concise, up-to-date and accessible guide on how to create power from both urban and industrial waste. The book explores the types of waste that, instead of going to landfill, can be converted to energy, also discussing the most up-to-date technologies for doing so. The book contains a strong emphasis on the related environmental impacts and economic factors involved in the various methods of generating electricity, making this a valuable and insightful read for those involved in the management and conversion of waste, including energy engineers, managers and technicians.

Abstract

La gestion des déchets est au cœur des enjeux urbains contemporains. Longtemps domaine des administrations et d’entreprises spécialisées, elle est aujourd’hui devenue l’affaire de tous : trier, récupérer et recycler est aussi une question de citoyenneté. Cette attention portée aux déchets et à leur sort a mis en lumière des acteurs peu visibles qui jouent un rôle important dans leur récupération. Ceux-ci doivent trouver leur place en fonction des évolutions des systèmes de gestion institutionnels. Lorsque ces derniers sont défaillants, l’activité des acteurs invisibles de la récupération devient fondamentale pour libérer la ville de ses rebuts. Sociétés urbaines et déchets propose une mise en perspective de dix-huit études, au nord et au sud, où ces acteurs de la récupération sont à l’œuvre. Entre marginalisation et reconnaissance, entre exclusion et intégration, les récupérateurs sont les premiers maillons de systèmes en mutation. Avec des effets très différents selon les contextes locaux, les responsables politiques tentent de contrôler, réformer et moderniser les modalités de gestion des déchets en y associant des entreprises privées, locales ou multinationales. Cet ouvrage ambitionne d’éclairer les tensions et les articulations entre les acteurs qui participent à la gestion des déchets dans l’espace urbain : les dynamiques présentées ici témoignent des inégalités socio-territoriales et des processus de marginalisation dont la récupération des déchets, de plus en plus convoités, constitue une manifestation éloquente.

Abstract

This multidisciplinary book analyses the contradictory coexistence of consumerism and environmentalism in contemporary Japan. It focuses on the dilemma that the diffusion of the concepts of sustainability and recycling has posed for everyday consumption practices, and on how these concepts have affected, and were affected by, the production and consumption of art. Special attention is paid to the changes in consumption practices and environmental consciousness among the Japanese public that have occurred since the 1990s and in the aftermath of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters of March 2011.
