Recycling von Kunststoffen, Gummi und anderen Polymeren: Wie beeinflussen solche Prozesse unsere Umwelt? Dieser Frage geht der vorliegende Band nach, wobei sich der Autor auf die neue Gesetzgebung in den USA, Japan und der EU bezieht, die Polymerhersteller zum Recycling zwingt. Vor- und Nachteile der Recyclingkreisläufe werden einander gegenübergestellt. Alle Kapitel enthalten Beispielfragen und -antworten.
