A system for handling used packaging film in a food processing facility is provided. The system stores the used film in a refrigerated truck trailer at the food processing facility to prevent rotting, prior to transporting the film to a treatment facility where the film may be recycled.

The invention relates to a continuous method for removing a solvent from a suspension or solution comprising a dissolved target polymer by integrated drum-drying and extrusion of said suspension or solution comprising the dissolved target polymer. The invention also relates to a plastic waste recycling system for recycling a target polymer. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a polymer material obtained by this recycling method.

The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) for extracting toner from a toner cartridge comprising an inlet opening (1), a first outlet opening (2) for discharging toner, and a second outlet opening (3) for discharging toner cartridges. The apparatus (100) also comprises: a toner cartridge opening device (10) configured to break a toner cartridge so that the toner may be removed from inside said toner cartridge; a separating device (20) connected to said opening device (10) for receiving broken toner cartridges from said opening device, and configured to separate toner from a respective toner cartridge broken by said opening device (10), said separating device (20) being further configured to separately convey the broken toner cartridge to said second outlet opening (3) and toner separated from said broken toner cartridge to said first outlet opening (2).

Provided are a recycling system, a recycling method, and a laminate separation and recovery method, in which a wet crushing facility capable of crushing a laminate in water and separating the laminate simultaneously with the crushing. The recycling system according to the invention is a recycling system for recycling a plastic laminate having at least two or more layers into a recycled material, the recycling system including: a wet crushing facility configured to separate the laminate into single layers while crushing the laminate in water by performing pressure feeding simultaneously with crushing; and a facility configured to dispense and recover a crushed mixture of each of the separated single layers.

The invention relates to thermoplastic molding compositions (T) comprising 10 to 99% by weight, based on the total weight of the molding composition (T), of at least one type of recycled polymer material (A), containing 20 to 100% by weight, based on recycled material (A), of recycled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (A1); up to 80% by weight of at least one recycled styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (A2); up to 10% by weight of recycled polymeric impurities (A3), different from (A1) and (A2); 0.1 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the molding composition (T), of at least one graft copolymer (B), different from (A); 0.1 to 18% by weight, based on the molding composition (T), of block copolymer (C); and optionally up to 89.8% by weight of further polymer component (D), different from (A), (B) and (C); optionally up to 30% by weight of filler and/or reinforcing agent (E); and optionally up to 30% by weight of further additive (F).

Disclosed is a device for processing plastic materials, having a shredding unit, a conveying unit having a screw (7), and an extruder, having at least one extruder screw (11), adjoining the screw, wherein the central longitudinal axis (3) of the screw (7) is oriented at an angle to the central longitudinal axis (10) of the extruder screw (11), in particular at an angle of 80° to 100°, preferably 90°, and the longitudinal axis (3) of the screw (7) is offset with respect to the longitudinal axis (10) of the extruder screw (11) by an offset (v) in the direction of the direction of rotation (12) of the extruder screw (11) at or in the region of the discharge opening (8) or the intake opening (16) of the conveying unit.

To provide a polyester recycling system including: a functional layer removing means of removing a functional layer from a laminated polyester film including a polyester film having on a surface thereof the functional layer as a recovered waste material, with a cleaning agent dissolving the polyester film; a recovery means of recovering the polyester film, from which the functional layer has been removed; and a production means of producing a recycled polyester product with the recovered polyester film as a raw material.

The invention relates to a for recycling fabric into plastic granule for plastic manufacturing processes, the method comprising the steps of: a) Collecting fabric comprising fabric fibers b) Pulverizing the fabric into a powder of fabric particles c) Pelletizing the powder with a binder such that fabric pellets comprising the powder of fabrics are formed d) Extruding a mixture of the fabric pellets and a plastic compound into plastic granule.

The invention relates to a method for recycling respiratory protection masks comprising a plurality of layers manufactured from a single thermoplastic polymer chosen from polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, homopolymers and copolymers of polyamide 6 (PA6) and long-chain polyamides such as PA11 or PA12, and comprising a filtration layer made of polyvinylidene fluoride.

Processes and facilities for using one or more PET-containing materials as a feedstock to a chemical recycling facility, and in particular a solvolysis facility, are provided herein. The PET-containing materials used as feedstock may comprise a quantity of PET-containing solidified purge material. The PET-containing solidified purge material may be derived from various processes and facilities, including PET reclaimer facilities, manufacturers of PET articles, and/or a polymer manufacturing facilities. For example, he purge material may be the solidified purge material from an extrusion and/or pelletization process. Such solidified purge materials are generally undesirable or unusable to mechanical PET recycling facilities, and typically are sent to landfills and/or incinerators. However, the processes and facilities described herein make use of the PET and other plastics present in these otherwise undesirable or unusable solidified purge materials.
