Waste management and recycling have become a main issue for most countries across the world, as primary resources are becoming scarcer unlike waste products. Innovation regarding reuse, recycling or energy valuation has never been more topical and great progress are made toward the reduction of final waste. However, with the growing interest of recycling methods, new challenges are highlighted. The complexity of tons of manufactured products reveals the limits of the common shredding & sorting processes. This leaves an empty space for new kinds of recycling processes, and supercritical fluids have long demonstrated their great abilities in this domain.
