“…A gradual switch to biobased plastics has been witnessed by the increasing use at an industrial level of alternative raw materials [10,11] such as polylactic acid (PLA) [12], polybutyl succinate (PBS) [13,14], polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) [15][16][17], and polyethylene furanoate (PEF) [18][19][20], together with different composite materials produced from starch [21][22][23][24], CMC [25][26][27][28][29][30], wood [31,32], lignin [33,34], and many different agro-industrial wastes [35][36][37].…”

Today, the scientific community is facing crucial challenges in delivering a healthier world for future generations. Among these, the quest for circular and sustainable approaches for plastic recycling is one of the most demanding for several reasons. Indeed, the massive use of plastic materials over the last century has generated large amounts of long-lasting waste, which, for much time, has not been object of adequate recovery and disposal politics. Most of this waste is generated by packaging materials. Nevertheless, in the last decade, a new trend imposed by environmental concerns brought this topic under the magnifying glass, as testified by the increasing number of related publications. Several methods have been proposed for the recycling of polymeric plastic materials based on chemical or mechanical methods. A panorama of the most promising studies related to the recycling of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polystyrene (PS) is given within this review.

“…Today, a growing tendency of waste and by-products usage in material production can be seen, e.g., polymers [31,32], composites [33][34][35][36][37], and even alloys [38]. This article aims to determine the properties of newly designed sports surfaces consisting of EPDM and SBR from recycling.…”

An athlete’s performance depends not only on the shoes they wear but also on the surface used in sports facilities. In addition, it can significantly contribute to reducing injuries, which are easy to get during sports competitions. In the present study, we wanted to investigate whether recycled styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) could be used in the production of sports surfaces. For this purpose, we designed three different sports surfaces: (1) SBR covered with a thin EPDM spray layer on the top, (2) clean EPDM, and (3) bottom SBR layer with the top layer of EPDM. The test program of these surfaces included in its scope: shock absorption, vertical deformation, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and slip resistance tests. Our research also involved the influence of the substrate under surface, temperature, and surface conditions. Presented results show that both materials, in the right proportions, can be used in the production of sports surfaces.
