Summary

Researchers applied superstructure optimization to identify the most economically and environmentally favorable processing pathways for low-density polyethylene waste, finding that the optimal route depends on trade-offs between greenhouse gas emissions and economic returns across multiple recycling and conversion technologies.

The TOC presents the decision-making performed in the superstructure for determining the optimal processing path of waste LDPE. The selection is based on two objectives, the emissions and the economics that are represented in the two axes.
