Novel Bioderived Composites from Wastes

<p><span style=color: rgba(201 196 189 1)>The recovery of solid wastes for the preparation of innovative composite materials not only represents an economic advantage but also offers an ecological opportunity for the utilization of by-products which would otherwise be landfilled. Specifically the reuse and recycling of waste lead to important savings of raw materials and energy since these by-products generally deriv from agricultural or industrial activities are abundant in nature. Moreover a reduction of the environmental and related sanitary impacts can be also achieved. For this reason a recycling operation is fundamental for the improvement of the environmental sustainability because these secondary raw materials become a resource that can be easily reused without the modification of the peculiar characteristics in order to obtain new and performing composites with a low specific weight high durability and long life cycle.</span></p>
