© 2020 Mechanical heat treatment of municipal solid waste offers a route for the production and separation of a biofiber fraction with high organic content, which is a potential source of sugars for biochemical conversion to chemicals and fuels. This... Read More about Enzyme digestion of biofiber from mechanical heat treated municipal solid waste: Accessing kinetic and rheological design data using a pilot-scale high-solids mixer.

From aviation to aviation: Environmental and financial viability of closed-loop recycling of carbon fibre composite (2020)
Journal Article
Meng, F., Cui, Y., Pickering, S., & McKechnie, J. (2020). From aviation to aviation: Environmental and financial viability of closed-loop recycling of carbon fibre composite. Composites Part B: Engineering, 200, Article 108362. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2020.108362

© 2020 By 2050, the aviation sector is expected to generate about 500,000 tonnes of accumulated carbon fibre reinforced plastic waste from the production and end-of-life phase. In this study, aircraft interior applications of recycled carbon fibre (r...
