Can injection-molded plastic be recycled?
During plastic molding process, many plastic wastes will be produced due to the process of debugging equipment and cleaning molding machines. Are these waters recyclable? What is the application after recycling?
Of course, these wastes can be recycled, and they can be classified by the material type and cleanliness. Also, these recycled materials can still be used as raw materials for processing plastic parts, but they are not available in producing the product of food and medical grade. Recycled materials are the better options for some daily commodities, such as stools and trash cans with the target of saving costs. It should be noted that the properties of the plastic material will be weakened gradually after each recycling, thus it is necessary to check the properties to avoid quality issues of the product in pursuit of cost-effectiveness.
Through the recycling of injection-molded plastic, a great amount of raw material can be saved each year, and the global impact of the greenhouse effect can be reduced. Many countries in the world have classified plastic recycling in detail according to the material properties, and added recycling marks on the products to facilitate recycling work after the product was discarded.
