The production of polymers from recycled materials has become a significant trend in the plastics industry over the past decades. This trend not only reduces plastic waste and conserves natural resources but also offers numerous economic and environmental benefits. Recycled polymers, such as recycled ABS, PP, PE, and PS, are widely used across various industries.
Applications and Technical Features of Recycled Polymers:
◦ Features: Impact resistance, high moldability, good dimensional stability.
◦ Applications: Automotive parts, household appliances, electronic products.
◦ Features: High chemical resistance, lightweight, good thermal stability.
◦ Applications: Automotive parts, packaging, hygiene products.
◦ Features: High flexibility, resistance to chemicals and weather conditions.
◦ Applications: Plastic films, pipes, plastic bottles.
◦ Features: High rigidity, recyclability, and ease of reprocessing.
◦ Applications: Disposable containers, food packaging, thermal insulation.
Producing recycled polymers not only helps reduce waste and conserve natural resources but is also economically and environmentally viable. With recent advancements in recycling technologies, recycled polymers can effectively replace virgin polymers in many applications while maintaining the expected quality and performance.
