PCR in Plastics Recycling – How a Processor Combines Post-Consumer and Industrial Waste
PCR in Plastics Recycling – How a Processor Combines Post-Consumer and Industrial Waste Plastics recyclers face the same challenge every day: how to turn two very different waste streams – post-consumer and industrial waste – into a raw material that meets the requirements of new product manufacturing. In this article, we explain how this works […]
History of Plastics – From the First Polymers to Modern Materials
History of Plastics – From the First Polymers to Modern Materials Plastics have revolutionised industry and everyday life in just 150 years. From the first experiments with nitrocellulose to advanced engineering polymers, their development has transformed the way we design, manufacture, build and package almost everything around us. This article takes a closer look at […]
Polypropylene (PP) – Properties, Applications and Recycling from the Perspective of ML Polyolefins
Polypropylene (PP) – Properties, Applications and Recycling from the Perspective of ML Polyolefins Polypropylene (PP) is a lightweight thermoplastic polymer from the polyolefin group, widely used across industry due to its high mechanical strength, good chemical resistance, ease of processing and recyclability. It is used in products ranging from car bumpers and yoghurt cups to […]
Polyolefin Recycling – What Is It and Why Is It So Important?
Polyolefin Recycling – What Is It and Why Is It So Important? Regranulate is a secondary plastic material in granular form, produced by recycling polyolefin waste – mainly polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) – and intended for reuse in manufacturing. At ML Polyolefins, we process such waste into high-quality material for manufacturers and companies looking […]
