Mechanical and chemical recycling technologies are comprehensively covered as these are the two main recycling technologies employed for ABS waste recycling. This review attempts to cover recent ABS recycling techniques and highlight the significance of ABS plastic recycling for the circular economy.
The increasing adoption of photovoltaic (PV) panels as a sustainable energy source has created a pressing need for effective recycling plans to handle the panels end-of-life concerns. This paper presents a thorough and innovative review for recycling silicon cells, glass, aluminum, and plastic-the primary components of photovoltaic panels.
ABS recycling can be carried out by various processes and techniques, as indicated in Fig. 7. Out of the various classifications of recycling methods for polymers, the two predominant methodologies employed in the recycling of ABS polymer are mechanical recycling and chemical recycling .
The technical feasibility of recycling ABS plastic has been demonstrated by producing high-quality recycled PC/ABS suitable for direct re-application in electronic devices. ABS plastic recycling can help reduce waste and conserve resources by recovering valuable components and materials from electronic waste.
