Plastics to Energy: Fuel, Chemicals, and Sustainability Implications covers important trends in the science and technology of polymer recovery, such as the thermo-chemical treatment of plastics, the impact of environmental degradation on mechanical recycling, incineration and thermal unit design, and new options in biodegradable plastics. The book also introduces product development opportunities from waste materials and discusses the main processes and pathways of the conversion of polymeric materials to energy, fuel and chemicals. A particular focus is placed on industrial case studies and academic reviews, providing a practical emphasis that enables plastics practitioners involved in end-of-life aspects to employ these processes. Final sections examine lifecycle and cost analysis of different plastic waste management processes, exploring the potential of various techniques in modelling, optimization and simulation of waste management options.

Focusing on the paradigm shift towards the Rights of Nature, this guide explores its implications for environmental law and sustainability both in the U.S. and globally. The authors emphasize the importance of establishing a relationship of integrity with the planet, advocating for the inclusion of Nature's Laws of Reciprocity in legal systems. They outline strategies and directions for developing a Rights of Nature-based legal framework aimed at fostering environmentally sustainable human activities.
