The book moves on to special issues and some future trends in the plastics industry with recommendations for future research.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlastics have given society enormous benefits because of their versatility, light weight, durability, and low costs. However, these properties have come with negative impacts because these persistent materials are leaked into the environment during their entire life cycle. Therefore, critical chapters report on the future directions for sustainable polymers, the valorization of plastic waste, and the recovery, treatment and recycling routes of plastic waste. The book concludes with chapters on the usage of plastics in medical devices, as well as the use of plastics in restoration, food applications, additive classes, and manufacturing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will be used by plastics engineers, chemists, polymer and materials scientists in both academia and the plastics industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohannes Karl Fink \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry at Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria.
