Recycling of polymers from plastic packaging materials using the dissolution–reprecipitation technique (2009, background): “Although, the presence of large quantities of mixed plastic waste, impurities and contamination are the main challenge for the effective recycling of plastics from packaging, during the last decade, effective management of the different waste streams (selective sorting, automatic separation) has all”
Quality Assessment and Circularity Potential of Recovery Systems for Household Plastic Waste (2018, background): “…often termed downcycling, involving considerable losses of material properties compared to virgin plastic (Rigamonti et al. 2018; van der Harst et al. 2016; Luijsterburg and Goossens 2014; Vilaplana and Karlsson 2008), reducing the quality and thereby applicability of the recycled plastic.”
Plastic recycling in additive manufacturing: A systematic literature review and opportunities for the circular economy (2020, background): “Modelling the oxidative degradation under different environmental conditions enables determinate polymer thermal aging, the sensitivity to the attacking environment and consequently the lifetime of the recycled printed object (Karlsson, 2004; Vilaplana and Karlsson, 2008).”
Analysis of recycled PET bottles products by pyrolysis-gas chromatography (2013, background): “It is very important to overcome these deficiencies during recycling process and obtain satisfied mechanical properties, durability, aesthetics and especially the health suitability of the recycled material [3,4].”
Recycling of bioplastics, their blends and biocomposites: A review (2013, background): “On the other hand, maintaining the quality of the recyclate is vital for ensuring the feasibility of the process and the market value [36].”
Mechanical recycling of polylactide, upgrading trends and combination of valorization techniques (2016, background): “These degradation processes may modify the structure and composition of the polymers and consequently change the thermal, viscoelastic and mechanical performance of the recyclates[21].”
