Influence of the Recyclate Content on the Process Stability and Part Quality of Injection Moulded Post-Consumer Polyolefins by Pia Wagner, Jan Kleinsorge, Christian Hopmann

“…Integrating post-consumer recyclates (PCRs) into manufacturing processes, particularly in injection moulding, holds great potential for reducing CO2 emissions, decreasing reliance on virgin materials, mitigating waste and promoting a circular economy. Nevertheless, a switch to 100% recyclate has not yet been effective or economical in many areas of application, so mixtures of virgin and recyclate material represent a promising approach and must be analysed further. …”

Efficient chemical recycling of poly(L-lactic acid) via either alcoholysis to alkyl lactate or thermal depolymerization to L-lactide promoted by Zn(II) catalysts by Maria Gentile, Licia Gaeta, Stefano Brenna, Claudio Pellecchia

“…Its current end-of-life management involves composting, but chemical recycling would be more appropriate for a circular economy model. Here we report two very efficient chemical recycling pathways for commercial high molar mass and highly crystalline PLA samples, both ones promoted by different imidazole[1,5-a]pyrid-3-yl)phenolate Zn(II) catalysts: (i) alcoholysis was easily achieved by simply treating the polymer samples in boiling methanol in the presence of 1 % Zn(II) catalyst, resulting in up to 99 % yield and selectivity in methyl lactate; and (ii) chemical recycling to the monomer was achieved by heating the polymer samples at 180 °C under vacuum or in a nitrogen flow in the presence of 0.1 % Zn(II) catalyst and a highly boiling alcohol, resulting in up to 99 % yield of L-lactide, having high chemical and steric purity, which could be repolymerized without any further purification.…”
