The word sustainable implies clean and friendly environment. This course is concerned with waste management. Here waste management refers to means and ways of disposing wastes or scraps. Wastes or scraps can come from various materials and products such as metals, ceramics, papers, glasses, woods etc. However, this course is concerned with waste materials or products which are based from rubber and plastics (polymeric materials) only. The course will look into the current practice of disposing scrap tyres, rubbers and plastics, and will cover topics such as land filling, reclaiming process, recycling, energy recovery and pyrolysis. Other polymeric materials and technology which contribute to the green environment such as biodegradable plastics and sustainable technology will also be discussed.
