Development of novel materials for acoustic, thermal and vibration applications

University of Bradford Faculty of Engineering & Digital Technologies

Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments

One of the main environmental problems of our time is elastomeric waste pollution. Due to mismanagement or inadequate recycling practices, up to 300 million tons of elastomeric waste ends up annually in landfill, or are discharged into ecosystems, posing potential threats to aquatic and terrestrial life.

Construction and demolition waste disposal to energy generation: An exploratory study

University of Bradford Faculty of Engineering & Digital Technologies

Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments

Globally, there is an alarming concern about the increasing statistics on the generation of construction and demolition waste. The waste hierarchy – prevent, reduce, recycle, recovery and disposal – which encourages the sustainable use of resources, unwittingly considers waste disposal. Read more
