ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:

Unatoč naglašavanju održivosti, umjesto recikliranja, dominantan način zbrinjavanja otpada u regiji je pohrana u tlo. Analizom dosadašnjih istraživanja recikliranja EPS-a, uočeni su nekonzistentni zaključci o degradaciji recikliranog EPS-a. Kao jedna od mogućih primjena recikliranog EPS-a, predlažu se ploče za podno grijanje i hlađenje. Dan je pregled minimalnih traženih zahtjeva za iste, postojećih sustava podnog grijanja te analiza prednosti i nedostataka tehničkih rješenja za ugradnju cijevi u ploče. Cilj članka je ukazati na rezultate dosadašnjih istraživanja, nedostatak spoznaja, te potaknuti daljnja istraživanja u području recikliranja EPS-a i njegove buduće primjene.

KEYWORDS / KLJUČNE REČI:
