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. …”
