CIRCULAR COMPOSITE ENGINEERING: A Practical Guide to Green Manufacturing from Agricultural Residue and Polymer Waste

About the BookAs global industries shift toward sustainable infrastructure and decarbonized supply chains, transforming environmental liabilities into high-value structural assets has become a commercial necessity. Circular Composite Engineering provides a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap for converting raw agricultural residues-such as rice husk ash and crop fibers-and waste polymers into durable, scalable green building materials.Written for civil engineers, environmental officers, manufacturers, and sustainable entrepreneurs, this practical guide bridges the gap between material science theory and factory-floor execution. From raw material preparation and binder proportioning to twin-screw extrusion and high-pressure hydraulic compaction, this book details the technical parameters needed to produce market-ready eco-materials. Key Features Inside - Step-by-Step Manufacturing Processes: Complete process flows for producing Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC), bio-wood, non-fired bio-bricks, and recycled polymer furniture.- Material Science & Mix Formulations: Technical guidance on moisture control, particle sizing, binder ratios, and additive integration for maximum structural integrity.- Industrial Scale & Quality Control: Standardized testing protocols for compressive strength, durability, and commercial compliance.- Circular Economy Business Models: Practical frameworks for converting agricultural and polymer waste streams into profitable, low-carbon product lines.
