Contributions to the Recycling of Asbestos Cement and Plastic Waste
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2011, Vol 12, Issue 33
Abstract
Identifying alternatives to landfill must be a priority of the waste management systems in European countries in the context of the new directive on waste, where recycling represents the core operation. With regard to asbestos-containing waste, recycling at this time is not permitted by law, HG 124/2003 stipulating that “in order to protect human health and the environment, from January 1, 2007, all marketing activities and the use of asbestos and products containing asbestos are prohibited”. This article presents the results of research undertaken by the author during doctoral training, towards recycling of cement and plastics as polymer matrix composite. Tests realized on the new product, based on a modern and complex methodology with high accuracy results, denied the alleged toxicity of asbestos after its embedment in a polymer mass and may provide important arguments for flexibility in profile legislation, having as a purpose the allowance of unrestricted marketing for the resulting product.
