A method of recycling a first polymer from a multi-component polymer product may include subjecting the multi-component polymer product that includes a first polymer and at least one additional component to conditions to melt the first polymer; and filtering the at least one additional component from the molten first polymer.

A container made of a sheet material including a plurality of layered film layers including a first film layer and a second film layer. The sheet material is formed into a bag by attaching at least a part of a periphery of the sheet material to form a containing region for accommodating a content inside the second film layer. The container includes, between the first film layer and the second film layer, a film attached portion where the first film layer and the second film layer are attached to each other, and a filler enclosed portion bulged out to a thickness direction of the sheet material than the film attached portion because the filler is present therein. A printed layer including an ink layer is formed on at least one surface selected from outside and inside surfaces of the first film layer, and outside and inside surfaces of the second film layer, and the printed layer is removable from the surface of the film layer by washing with an aqueous solvent.

Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a molded article, such as a preform that is blow moldable to form a container, and a related method of forming and recycling a container. The structure and steps includes injection molding a molded article having tubular body.

A disclosed process for producing granular infill material for a synthetic turf surface includes providing scraps of a composite material comprising a textile support. A coating of the textile support includes a polymeric material. A weight percentage of the textile support is greater than or equal to 5% of a total weight of the composite material. The production process includes grinding the scraps to obtain scrap pieces, preparing a mixture comprising the scrap pieces, and heating the mixture to obtain a blend comprising the polymeric material in a softened state and pieces of the textile support dispersed in the polymeric matrix. A plurality of solid granules may be obtained from the blend to make the granular infill material. Each granule includes a polymeric matrix including the polymeric materials and a reinforcing filler dispersed in the polymeric matrix. The reinforcing filler may include pieces of the textile support.

Methods, systems and agglomerators for recovering mixed multi-plastic and natural fiber are described. The systems, methods, and the agglomerator operate at low temperatures to avoid degradation of the plastic film. The agglomerator includes cutting discs that are adjustable.

The present disclosure provides a fabric, a preparation method thereof and clothing formed therefrom. The preparation method includes the following steps: obtaining bio-based synthetic fiber chips from textile waste materials; obtaining extruded filaments from the bio-based synthetic fiber chips by adopting a spinning solution; and weaving and interlocking the extruded filaments with bio-based elastic fibers to obtain the fabric. The prepared fabric is obtained from the textile waste materials, so that waste recycling is realized, and the pollution of the textile wastes to the environment is avoided. The spinning solution is adopted in the preparation process of the fabric, so that the opacity and hydrophilicity of the fabric can be enhanced.

The present disclosure relates to a recycling system for recycling of composite materials such as wind turbine blades. The recycling system comprises a plurality of processing units that may be transported to a location of interest and assembled into the recycling system. Each processing unit configured to carry one or more recycling step(s).

An installation (1) and method for treating composite products (2) based on thermoplastic material(s) for recycling purposes, the installation at least comprising means (3, 4, 4′, 5, 6) for heating, for reducing size, for crushing and for separating, said means being arranged to form at least one line (1′) for treating and extracting material(s) to be reused, operating as a continuous or intermittent flow, and regulated if necessary. The installation (1) is characterised in that the means (3) for heating and reducing size comprise at least one heated screw mixer, the crushing means comprise at least one roll crusher (4, 4′) comprising two rolling rollers (7 and 7′) that are heated and set into rotation in opposite directions, the separating means (5, 6) comprise at least one macroscopic separating means (5) in the form of a device for discharging macroscopic polluting particles present in the output (3′), and the separating

A reusable, fiber containing pulp product is described that is highly suited for use in the manufacture of paper products. The reusable, fiber containing pulp product provides a mixture of fibers and small, dense polymer/particle fragments. The polymer/particle fragments within the reusable, fiber containing pulp product have a size range and density that facilitates efficient removal of the polymer/particle fragments using pressure screens.

A process for treating a recycled polyolefin with an emulsion comprising aqueous and organic phases, as well as the use of said process and/or emulsion for the at least partial removal of volatile organic compounds.
