Mechanical Recycling

Mechanical recycling is a process that recovers plastic waste and transforms it into valuable raw material without changing its chemical structure. During the process, post-consumer or post-industrial plastics are sorted, cleaned, shredded and reprocessed into new plastic pellets or products. To compensate for material degradation and improve the performance of recycled plastics, functional additives can be incorporated during processing.
