Recycling Plastics from WEEE: A Review of the Environmental and Human Health Challenges Associated with Brominated Flame Retardants

Cecilia Chaine et al.

Summary: Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains both hazardous substances and valuable recoverable materials. Informal treatment facilities that develop in countries without regulations have serious consequences for the environment and the health of workers and communities. This review focuses on various aspects of WEEE plastic management, including legal frameworks, methods for determining BFRs in industrial processes, and the health and environmental impacts associated with BFR/NBFR presence in waste, consumer products, and recycling facilities.

Recycling of Post-Consumer Packaging Materials into New Food Packaging Applications-Critical Review of the European Approach and Future Perspectives

Roland Franz et al.

Summary: The European strategy for plastics aims to reduce plastic waste, improve the economics and quality of recycled plastics, and establish a closed-loop recycling of food packaging materials. However, the use of recyclates needs to strike a balance between consumer protection and the targets of circular economy.

A Fast and Automated Strategy for the Identification and Risk Assessment of Unknown Substances (IAS/NIAS) in Plastic Food Contact Materials by GC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS: Recycled LDPE as a Proof-of-Concept

Pablo Miralles et al.

Summary: A fast and automated approach using GC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS was developed for the tentative identification and risk assessment of unknown substances in plastic food contact materials. The study applied strict identification criteria and a threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) approach for risk assessment, showing that there was no risk associated with the release of the identified substances. Additional studies on toxicity of unidentified substances and potential mixture toxicity should be conducted.
