Principle
Thermoplastics which have a melting range at relatively low temperatures can be easily recycled into usable plastics when remelted. Unmixed plastics keep largely their properties, however, specially the sorting of smaller waste constitutes a problem.The remelting process of the unsorted and contaminated plastic waste is an important research area due to the increasing volume of plastic waste. The goal is the reusability of materials such as starting materials for consumer goods such as garden benches among others.
