“…Therefore, in Mexico, there are efforts to identify potential areas for the location of landfills (Saldaña Durán and Nájera González, 2019), despite the environmental impact they entail. On the other hand, there are also efforts to design semi-automatic systems for the reuse of recyclable materials such as glass, a material that is not as valued (Guerrero et al, 2021). Mexico generated 102,895 tons of waste daily in 2017.…”

Post-consumer polymers require viable actions to transfer value to the final consumer to reduce environmental impact. Worldwide, initiatives are being developed to promote the culture of recycling and thus reduce waste generation. These initiatives seek to make the work of thousands of people visible, encourage job creation, and promote businesses through incentive schemes for effective separation, collection, classification, reuse, and recycling, in the hands of consumers, collectors, and scavenges. It is necessary to emphasize that Mexico needs to develop techniques to increase the productivity of collection centers for recyclable materials and to face the challenges that recycling implies. For these reasons, the Mexican government has spoken of waste management as a national priority due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased urban solid waste between 3.3 % and 16.5 % in addition to what was generated under normal conditions. Also, the recycling chain provides economic income to more than 35 thousand Mexicans. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is an example of the most notable circular economy in Mexico because 60 % of PET bottles are recycled. Therefore, this article addresses the methods and systems in the management of urban solid waste. It focuses on post-consumer recycled plastic bottles to provide an overview of cost-effective strategies for designing and developing an affordable sorting system in Mexico from the academic field. In addition, to simplify the solution that we propose, it is recommended to combine optical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy with others methods that work together, such as computer vision, to develop affordable systems that address the limitations of mechanical systems.

This research presents a new solution to use bottle glass wastes together with aluminum hydroxide for porous alumina glass ceramics synthesis. The firing of the samples was conducted at three temperatures: 800, 1000 and 1200 °C. The effect of the bottle waste glass addition on the firing shrinkage, apparent density porosity, chemical stability and compression strength of the sintered samples was investigated. The dimensional stability of the samples, varying between 4.75–11.87% is positively affected by waste glass/alumina substitution ratio. Higher amounts of glass waste lead to higher apparent densities, up to 1.80 g/cm3 and lower apparent porosities, around 33.74%, depending on the heat treatment temperature. All the studied glass ceramics have very good chemical stability that increase with the glass waste/alumina ratio. The compression strength of the obtained samples, ranging between 4.72–24.20 N/mm2 is negatively affected by increasing the glass waste amount due to its brittle behavior. The obtained results suggest the viability of the proposed recycling alternative for bottle glass waste together with aluminum hydroxide as porous alumina glass ceramics.
