Characteristics and the recovery potential of plastic wastes obtained from landfill mining
TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper collected municipal solid waste samples of different storage years from the landfill and did mechanical screening and manual separating to sort out plastic wastes, and a typical old landfill, which is of 24 storage years and located in central China, was taken as their studied case.
