Resumen:

In this chapter is described and discussed the importance of using gamma radiation as a technology for recycling polymers and composite materials, as well as a novel technology for recycling of Tetra Pak packaging, mainly those aspects related to physicochemical modifications of the components, namely cellulose, polyethylene, and aluminum. Gamma radiation has proved its efficacy for modification and improving of structural and physicochemical properties of materials. Along the chapter the statistical data are mentioned and their importance in recovery of such wastes. Recycling has the potential to reduce the amount of wastes disposed in landfills and to preserve natural resources. Recycling, one of the strategies in minimizing waste offers three benefits: (1) reduces the demand for new resources; (2) cuts down on transport and production energy costs; and (3) utilizes waste which would otherwise be gone into landfill sites. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
