Featured in CEP Magazine: Modular, Intensified Options for Conversion of Wastes to Products
Global challenges such as climate change, unsustainable development, and ocean plastic pollution highlight the need to rethink the linear lifecycle of most products. Raw materials are typically taken from the ground and processed into products that are distributed, used, and landfilled or incinerated at the end of their useful life. Alternative approaches to manufacturing focus on transitioning from a linear lifecycle to a closed loop in which waste, rather than primary raw materials, is used as feedstock to create new products.
RAPID's Ignasi Palou-Rivera and Paul Yelvington discuss "Modular, Intensified Options for Conversion of Wastes to Products" in the Advanced Manufacturing Progress section of February's CEP Magazine.
