Abstract

Waste-derived briquettes offer a promising alternative to fossil fuels and are characterised by low production costs, high volumetric calorific value, robust mechanical strength, and excellent durability. To optimize their adoption, four variants of waste-derived briquettes were produced with different mass ratios of sawdust to polyethylene [...]
