The plastics recovered from electronic waste have huge potential to be recycled into new products. However, several earlier works have indicated that the toughness properties of the recovered plastics are significantly low. An impact modifier for such plastics was developed in the current study using silicone rubber waste from mobile phone keypads....

The plastic components from waste mobile phones were sorted and characterized using visual, spectroscopic and thermal methods. The sustainable strength of the recovered plastics was investigated by comparing their mechanical and thermal properties with commercially used reference materials. The results revealed that the recovered polymers have sign...

Plastic components from waste mobile phones were sorted and characterized using visual, spectroscopic and thermal methods. The mechanical properties of the recovered plastics were investigated by comparing with commercially used reference materials. The results revealed the practical feasibility of these recovered plastics to make new products thro...

There is an enormous growth in mobile phone consumption worldwide which leads to generation of a large volume of mobile phone waste every year. The aim of this review is to give an insight on the articles on mobile phone waste management and recycling, published in scientific journals, major proceedings and books from 1999 to 2015. The major areas...
