“…In addition, food packaging waste composites can also be fiber‐reinforced by the incorporation of textiles wastes, for example, without a great variety of thermal conductivity. [ 151 ] In addition, researches have presented low‐cost and mechanic abilities of biodegradable polymers as an alternative to produce environmental friendly packaging. This type of polymers can be recycled by combustion.…”

The amount of residues generated by agriculture, industrial, or urban activities continuously increases and, consequently, demands several methods for their correct management. The incorrect disposal can cause, in specific cases, environmental contamination by heavy metals or leaching as well as promote the spread of diseases as insect proliferation. Commonly, landfilling, incinerating, composting, or energy/fuel generation can control the disposal or reuse of residues. Among the methods for the reuse of wastes, the incorporation of residues as fillers in polymer composites has emerged as a distinct field. Some composites can potentially mitigate leaching compounds or improve mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties. However, these improvements are a challenge to promote the use of waste fillers. Thus, this study aims to provide a state of view regarding a variety of wastes used as fillers in polymer composites and different methods to reach mechanical reinforcement as well as improve thermal conductivity and acoustic attenuation for future researches.

“…One of the potential applications for the textile fibers (e.g. cotton) waste is to produce building panels because of its good thermal and acoustic properties (Asdrubali et al, 2015;Binici et al, 2014Binici et al, , 2012Binici et al, , 2010El Hage et al, 2019;Hassanin et al, 2016;Ingrao et al, 2014;Lacoste et al, 2018).…”

Building materials derived from agricultural and industrial waste are becoming more attractive in the civil engineering and architectural applications because of their sustainability and lower environmental impact. In addition, substantial value can be added to the wastes by producing value added products from them. Therefore, four different types of locally available by-products (rice husk, wheat husk, wood fibers and textile waste fibers) were used to produce composites with a biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid)(PBAT/PLA) blend binder by hot pressing. The morphological analysis of the composites revealed that the PBAT/PLA binder had more affinity with wood and textile fibers than with wheat and rice husks. The prepared composites showed thermal stability until 250 °C. All the prepared biodegradable composites exhibited good compressive strength (11-40 MPa) and flexural strength (0.80-2.25 MPa). The observed mechanical properties allow easy handling without risk of breaking them when positioned in the buildings. The biodegradable composites were characterized for their thermal conductivity, diffusivity, effusivity and heat capacity. The density and thermal conductivity of the produced composite was in the range of 378-488 kg/m 3 and 0.08-0.14 W/m.K, respectively. The least thermal conductivity i.e. 0.08 W/m.K was observed for the rice husk composite with a density of 378 kg/m 3. A minimum water absorption (42%) was found in the rice husk composites after 24 h immersion in water. The composite samples were still cohesive after 24 h immersion in the water because of the water resistance nature of the binder. The prepared biodegradable composites meet most of the required properties for the indoor building insulation applications and show great potential to replace the conventional building material in current use.

Aseptic beverage cartons are multilayer polymer-coated paperboards with a layer of aluminum foil. Due to their multilayer structure it is commonly assumed that they cannot be recycled. This is not the case and this review details the multifarious processes that are used to recycle aseptic beverage cartons. Hydrapulping to recover the paper fibers that constitute 75% of the carton is the most widespread process, followed by the manufacture of construction materials such as boards and tiles which utilize the complete carton. A range of mechanical, chemical and thermal processes are used to separate the PolyAl (polyethylene and aluminum) residual that remains after the paper fibers have been recovered. The simplest process involves agglutination followed by extrusion to obtain pellets that can then be used in industrial and consumer products or combined with other materials such as lignocellulosic wastes. Chemical approaches involve the solubilization of polyethylene and the removal of aluminum. Various thermal processes have also been investigated and a novel microwave-induced pyrolysis process appears the most commercially viable. It is concluded that the focus in future years is likely to be on recycling cartons into construction materials where there is a theoretical yield of 100% compared with 75% for hydrapulping.
