  Abstract: The ever-increasing plastic waste and coal fly ash are a serious environmental problem, which have to be addressed with effective recycling methods that transform plastic waste and coal fly ash into high value-added composites of good thermal properties. Although the use of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is an area of interest, the effect of fly ash reinforcement on thermal degradation kinetics and activation energy is still poorly characterized, and a …
