Recycling flexible packaging multi-materials such as blister packs and food packaging laminates is critical if we are to reduce the severe environmental effect of plastic waste. The purpose of the experimental work was to develop a series of non-toxic, stable, deep eutectic solvents (DES) and ionic liquids (ILs) for the separation and the recovery of polymer-aluminium laminates. Studies identified a number of DESs and ILs that could be used to successfully delaminate three common aluminium containing packaging laminates thereby enabling complete separation and recovery of the constituent plastic and aluminium layers. Analyses of the corrosion and/or dissolution behaviour of aluminium in the DESs and ILs found such effects to be limited towards the recyclability/uprecyclability of the aluminium.

Sustainable Activated Zinc Rich Epoxy Primers with Extended Durability

Product Number: MECC23-20257-SG

Author: Santiago Arias; Jose Fernandes; Raquel Morales; Munzir Khan

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Zinc rich primers, both organic and in-organic coatings, are extensively used in the marine and offshore industry. The beneficial effect of zinc-rich primer on the longevity of protective coatings is primarily assumed to be due to a cathodic protection mechanism. During the 60’s and the 70’s zinc rich epoxy primers dominated the market.

Technology Advancements for Electrochemical Protection Systems of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Across Australia

Product Number: 51323-18881-SG

Author: Nicholas Critchley, Blane McGuiness, Oliver Gasior

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Electrochemical protection techniques have provided owners of reinforced concrete infrastructure a highly effective option for controlling reinforcement corrosion. This is particularly so for coastal assets, such as wharves and bridges which are exposed to seawater and in turn the corrosive effects that
follow as chlorides migrate through the concrete cover to the reinforcement. Protection technologies have evolved considerably over the past 30 years in the Australian market.

The Role of the Corrosion Engineer in Contributing Towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Product Number: 51320-14605-SG

Author: A.I. (Sandy) Williamson, Monica Hernandez, Carlos Arroyave

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed in 2015 as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The seventeen SDGs interconnect and a number of the goals are affected by corrosion processes and material choices. This paper aims to address these particular goals by providing examples of how the wise application of material sustainability, material stewardship and corrosion management principles can help improve progress towards meeting the goals. Furthermore, this paper is intended to underline the positive financial benefits to industry and governments when corrosion management practices are properly applied.

The Transformation of Shipping and Transport Material to Polymer-Based Products. A Case Study of Wooden-to-Plastic Pallets

Product Number: MECC23-20031-SG

Author: Fahad Al Suwaiei; Musab Al Husayni; Saeed AlGhamdi; Mohammed Kanwi

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Pallets have been used in transporting and storing goods such as consumables, food & beverages, and chemicals for many years. Pallets have multiple designs and dimensions and can be produced from multiple raw materials such as wood, plastic, and metal. The most common types of pallets are wooden and plastic, while wooden pallets have been used the longest and possess the largest share of the global market.

Utilizing Sustainability ScoreCards to Quantitatively Analyze the Sustainability Impact of Applied Linings Systems

Product Number: 51324-21040-SG

Author: Matthew Fletcher

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Sustainability ScoreCards have been developed to allow the sustainability impact of paints to be easily assessed by the paint industry. The paper introduces sustainability ScoreCards to demonstrate the reasoning between the different data that has been included and the benefits that ScoreCards can offer the paint industry. The data includes embodied CO2e, embodied water, CO2e downstream, lining consumption, durability, product hazard, chemical safety, and VOC content. The usefulness of the information this data provides will be reviewed, along with how the ScoreCards can be used to benchmark the sustainability of different systems allowing a quantified sustainability decision to be made. Using a paint system approach, calculated by area, gives improved insight to the applied system, and makes it easier to use in the paint industry, compared to individual product declarations based on weight of products. ScoreCards are also significantly quicker and cheaper to produce than EPDs, making them a more realistic document to produce for a paint company that may have hundreds of different paints that can result in thousands of different system permeations.
