Plastic bakery: A new taste for plastic waste

This master thesis describes the process of finding a new purpose for plastic waste materials. Due to the great set of possibilities (strength, stiffness, density, heat resistance, electrical conductivity), the material is often used (Lower, 2009). Many plastics are designed to be used only once, being thrown away after the use. However, thrown...
