Roetman Roetman, E.C. (author), Joustra, J.J. (author), Heideman, Geert (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Innovation is crucial to meet the circular economy goals for tire recycling. Devulcanization, an innovative recycling method of reprocessing tire rubber, offers a pathway towards achieving circular economy objectives. While previous research on devulcanization has primarily focused on technical aspects, this study shifts the focus towards...journal article 2024

Bradley, J.E. (author), Auping, Willem L. (author), Kleijn, René (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Sprecher, Benjamin (author)Tin is an important metal for society with a high risk of supply disruptions. It is, therefore, classified as a critical material in many parts of the world. An exception is the European Union, for which tin was classified as a non-critical material in 2023. However, there are many discrepancies in the literature regarding the definitions and...journal article 2024

Ritzen, L. (author), Sprecher, B. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Balkenende, A.R. (author)Bio-based plastics are attracting increasing attention due to their perceived sustainability and circularity. While enabling circularity by using renewable feedstocks, they still contribute to plastic pollution. Furthermore, their rapidly growing market will cause bio-based plastics to constitute significant fractions of plastic waste,...review 2023

(author), Janek, Jürgen (author), Ensinger, Wolfgang (author), Clemens, Oliver (author)Solid-state batteries can be built based on thiophosphate electrolytes such as β-Li<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub>. For the preparation of these solid electrolytes, various solvent-based routes have been reported. For recycling of end-of-life solid-state batteries based on such thiophosphates, we consider the development of dissolution and...journal article 2023

(author)The use of refrigerants has been continuously increasing in thermal control systems employed in residential premises, offices, storage, process operations and many more. Widely used refrigerants such as R-410A have become a target for regulations to prohibit their use because of environmental issues. R-410A is a blend of R-32 (Difluoromethane...book chapter 2023

Diao, Yan (author), Chen, Long (author), Huang, Y. (author)Waste glass (WG), as a nonbiodegradable material, poses a threat to environmental protection. The reuse of WG as a raw material to replace cement or aggregate in concrete production is gaining attention for recycling purposes. However, the optimal proportion of WG in concrete mixtures and its particle size distribution are hard to determine....journal article 2023

de Ridder, Else F. (author), Friedericy, Herman J. (author), van der Eijk, A.C. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Jansen, F.W. (author)Highlights: What are the main findings? Using the HSMEA, it is possible to systematically reduce operating room waste. The HSMEA identifies carbon hotspots of surgical waste based on waste stream analysis. Solutions for improvement are found by applying the six Rs of waste management. What is the implication of the main finding? A...journal article 2022

Understanding impurity levels is crucial in the context of the proliferation of circular economy policies, expected high recycling rates, and growth of scrap consumption. By assuming the accumulation of impurities to be equal worldwide, the...journal article 2022

Jing, R. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Liu, X. (author), Naus, Robbert (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)The rejuvenation of epoxy modified bituminous binders is a topic of much debate because such binders may not be able to melt at high temperatures and restore their properties using recycling agents. This paper presents the results of an experimental program developed to evaluate the re-usability of an epoxy modified bitumen, or epoxy bitumen, by...journal article 2021

Justino de Lima, C.L. (author), Veer, F.A. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Nijsse, R. (author)Despite a large number of products developed from waste materials, most of them consist of non-transparent applications, partly because it is a challenge to get transparent materials at reasonable temperatures from these waste products. In this work, we produced transparent glass samples incorporating slag and fly ash into a phosphate glass...journal article 2018

Van Cauwenberghe, Liesbet (author), Vanden Ende, Annelies (author)The European Circular Economy Package focusses on construction and demolition and wants to identify and increase the recovery of valuable materials. A densely populated area such as Flanders, with no space for landfills and hence very high landfill taxes is driven towards recycling and reuse. Flanders is one of the leading regions when it comes...conference paper 2017

Xia, H. (author), Bakker, M.C.M. (author)This work investigates the ability of LIBS to produce quality spectra from small particles of concrete demolition waste using single-shot spectra collected in open air. The 2–8?mm materials are rounded river gravel, green glass shards, and plastic flakes. Considered are focal length, air, moisture, laser energy, and laser incidence angle (LIA)....journal article 2015

Mohajeri, M. (author)Hot mix asphalt recycling has become common practice all over the world since the 1970s because of the crisis in oil prices. In the Netherlands, hot recycling has advanced to such an extent that in most of the mixtures more than 50% of reclaimed asphalt (RA) is allowed. These mixtures with such a high RA content are produced in a batch plant to...doctoral thesis 2015

Rem, P.C. (author), Van den Broeck, F. (author), Bakker, M.C.M. (author)Post-consumer steel scrap is often hand picked for contaminants such as copper to meet specifications of steelmakers. If the hand sorting capacity exceeds 20 tons scrap/h the efficiency generally becomes problematic, leaving 50% of the copper contaminants in the steel product. In response, new technologies are emerging that facilitate hand...journal article 2012
