TL;DR: In 1996, 210 million tons of municipal solid waste was generated in the United States and only 6% of this waste was recovered for recycling, 36 million tons was combusted primarily for energy recovery, and the rest (I 10 million tons) of the waste was landfilled.
Abstract: In 1996,210 million tons of municipal solid waste was generated in the United States. Fifty-seven million tons of this waste was recovered for recycling, 36 million tons was combusted primarily for energy recovery, and the rest (I 10 million tons) of the waste was landfilled. In 1996, plastics, rubbers, and textiles accounted for 20% by weight and 41% by volume of the total municipal solid waste. Six percent (2 million tons) of plastics, rubbers, and textiles were recovered for recycling in 1996.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe methods for manufacturing and producing fire protective intumescent coatings and the characteristics of the coatings which are obtained by three types of processing are analyzed.
Abstract: Methods for manufacturing and producing fire protective intumescent coatings are described. The coatings consist of three reactive parts mixed together at the time of use. The chemical composition of the reactive parts is discussed. The characteristics of the coatings which are obtained by three types of processing are analyzed. Qualification tests of the materials to determine acceptability are reported.
