Abstract
This paper outlines current research on the
performance of recycling processes and systems.
Several aspects of performance are explored, including
the separation performance and energy use of recycling
processes. Descriptive terminology for separation
performance is presented. The goal of this project is to
develop a basic understanding of the factors affecting
the separation and energy performance of recycling
systems, with the eventual ambition of developing
techniques for predictive analysis of these systems.
These analysis techniques will allow us to evaluate the
economic, ecological, and energy impact of recycling
systems. This increased understanding will help guide
the design of products and recycling systems.
