The Italian association for plastics processors, Unionplast, has been collecting figures for many years with the aim of devising a feasible recovery and recycling system for end-of-life plastic products, and has carried out a market survey specifically regarding PVC pipes and pipe-fittings. This article provides details of the association s findings. UNIONPLAST... [Pg.72]

The automotive industry is committed to plastic recovery and re-use programs. Problems often arise regarding the incompatibility of the structural adhesive with the plastic recycle recovery process. The intrinsic nature of most structural adhesives poses a serious regrind problem, and therefore the adhesive must be cut out of... [Pg.22]

There are guidelines for the recovery and recycling of plastics waste (78). The standard ISO 15270 2008 provides a guideline for the development of standards and specifications covering plastics waste recovery, including recycling. [Pg.21]

A number of other specialty polymers are used in packaging as well. Recycling of these materials is essentially nonexistent. Small amounts may be incorporated in mixed-plastic recycling systems that manufacture items such as plastic lumber. The relatively small amounts of these plastics that are available for recovery, and the additional complication that they often form part of multilayer structures, make their recovery and recycling as pure materials impractical in most cases. [Pg.158]

The Association of Plastics Manufacturers in Europe (APME) tracks plastics recycling statistics for the overall European market. Table 14.3 shows historical data from APME for the recovery and recycling of postuse plastics in Europe [16]. The full report can be found on the APME website www.apme.org. The total percentage of plastics diverted from landfill in 1990 was 23%, inaeasing to 32% in 1999. Energy recovery was the predominate method of recovery followed... [Pg.571]
