In the industrial field, this separation technique has been used for purposes as diverse as the analysis of odour and taste problems in high-density polyethylene [93], contaminants in recycled high-impact polystyrene [94], benzene residues in recycled polyethylene terephthalate [95] and denture adhesives [96], residual toluene in medical plasters [97], and lipstick (for assignation of products to manufacturers) [98,99]. 

Recycling of unwanted polymers is the best solution, and six types of plastics in common use are frequently stamped with identifying codes assigned by the Society of the Plastics Industry (Table 31.2). After sorting by type, the items to be recycled are shredded into small chips, washed, dried, and melted for reuse. Soft-drink bottles, for instance, are made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate), trash bags are made from recycled low-density polyethylene, and garden furniture is made from recycled polypropylene and mixed plastics.

As PET is nonbiodegradable, recycling is an appropriate use of the resource. PET bottles have been recycled since the 1970s (Awajaa and Pavelb, 2005). However, the quality of the resulting recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) depends on whether the bottles to be recycled contain contaminants including dust, colouring, acids and water (Awajaa and Pavelb, 2005).

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a synthetic polymer formed by the reaction of ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH) and terephthalic acid. Because PET is lightweight and impervious to air and moisture, it is commonly used for transparent soft drink containers. PET is also used to produce synthetic fibers, sold under the trade name of Dacron. Of the six most common synthetic polymers, PET is the most easily recycled, in part because beverage bottles that bear the recycling code "1" are composed almost entirely of PET. Recycled polyethylene terephthalate is used for fleece clothing and carpeting. In Chapter 30, we learn about the preparation and properties of synthetic polymers like polyethylene terephthalate. 

In the Master s dissertation entitled Effect of natural and accelerated ageing on the properties of PET/PC (80/20) blend , recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) was blended with PC (80/20 wt/wt), and then submitted to natural ageing in the city of Rio de Janeiro [17]. For comparison purposes, we also monitored the accelerated ageing of the blend in an appropriate chamber under the same conditions, 2,000 h of exposure were performed. The Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the tendency of the PET and PC carbonyl indices to decrease upon an increase in...

Fibre was the original outlet for recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and it still consumes a very large tonnage. In 2001, 144,000 tonnes of rPET (62% of all European supply) were used in fibre applications whereas in 2008, 363,000 tonnes of rPET (45% of all European supply) were used in fibre production.
