Provided is a resin molded body production method that enables production of a resin molded body in which mechanical strength is good, anisotropy of physical properties is low, and little warpage is developed. This production method is for a resin molded body containing a thermoplastic resin (A) and a cellulose nanofiber (B), the production method including: a step for preparing a main supply material (a1) containing the thermoplastic resin (A) and the cellulose nanofiber (B) and an auxiliary supply material (a2) that is a product of melting treatment of the main supply material (a1); a resin composition formation step for obtaining a resin composition (b) by melting and mixing of the main supply material (a1) and the auxiliary supply material (a2); and a step for obtaining the resin molded body by molding the resin composition (b).

Disclosed herein are processes for producing blends of recycled polymeric material and virgin polyethylene. Post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) can vary widely with respect to composition which includes mixtures of variable amounts of different polar and non-polar polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and polyamide. Mixing PCR and virgin polyethylene is inconsistent, partially due to variability, and frequently results in a final product with poor mechanical and optical properties. The process described herein of adding PCR to a solution polymerization process provides another option for blending PCR and virgin polyethylene that offers an ability to exert greater control on the properties of the final product, independent of the composition of the PCR.

The present invention provides an asphalt composition containing an asphalt and a polyester, the polyester being a polycondensate of a polyethylene terephthalate, an alcohol, and a carboxylic acid compound, the polyethylene terephthalate having a value of [(a quantity of heat absorbed in a DSC measurement)−(a quantity of heat generated in a DSC measurement)] of 5 J/g or more and 30 J/g or less and having an intrinsic viscosity (IV) of 0.6 or more and 1.05 or less.

A component for household appliances made of a plastic mixture comprising recycled polyolefin composition deriving from post-consumer plastic materials and/or post-industrial plastic materials and at least one filler. Also provided are a household appliance including the component and a method for manufacturing the household appliance by using the component.
