The invention relates to a method in which a polyester melt containing one or more polyesters is produced, the polyester melt being foamed by a blowing agent and a foamed granulate is produced from the foamed polyester melt. The intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the polyester melt is reduced by the blowing agent about at least 0.05 dl/g, measured according to ASTM D4603, and the IV of the foamed granulate is then increased by means of a solid phase polycondensation (SSP).

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.

A plastic container is provided that includes a hollow body portion including a lower supporting base portion; a sidewall portion extending upwardly from the base portion; and a neck portion extending upwardly from the sidewall portion. The neck portion includes a support flange having an upper and lower surface, at least one thread, and a dispensing opening at the top of the neck portion. In embodiments, a closure may be provided to form an assembly. In embodiments, the container may be comprised of PET, the weight of the neck portion from the lower surface of the support flange to a top of the dispensing opening may be 3.0 grams or less, and/or the vertical distance from the top of the dispensing opening to the lower surface of the support flange may be 0.580 inches or less. A preform and method for making a container are also disclosed.

A method of making recyclable waste contains steps of: a step of collecting so that the recyclable waste is collected and classified to industrial waste and daily use plastic; a step of crushing so that the industrial waste is crushed into granules, and the daily use plastic is made to raw materials; a step of mixing so that the granules and the raw material are mixed in a weight ratio; a step of heating and plasticizing so that the granules and the raw materials are maintained in a temperature to obtain plasticity in a flowing speed; a step of extruding so that the granules and the raw materials are extruded in a predetermined shape and a predetermined length, thus forming a body. Furthermore, the method further contains a step of cooling so that the body is cooled to solidify and to be make a recycled green building material.

A window unit including a glazing panel, a frame which has a frame profile and encompasses the edge of the glazing panel on at least one peripheral side and includes a plastic primary part, with the primary part having at least 10% in weight of recycled material.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a synthetic resin molded product which does not require classification of recovered ocean floating plastic trash according to kind of plastic, and can reuse most thereof as a raw material. The method is characterized by including mixing ocean floating plastic trash P (30 to 80 wt %) having a diameter or a side of 5 mm or less or a weight of 0.1 g or less, and a woodchip W (second material) (20 to 70 wt %) having a diameter or a side of 5 mm or less, and not molten under a temperature condition of 200° C. by a mixer 3, supplying a mixture of the ocean floating plastic trash P and the woodchip W to a grinding device 4, grinding the mixture into a powder with a diameter or a side of 1 mm or less, supplying the resulting powder as a raw material for a synthetic resin molded product to a molding machine, and carrying out a molding step.

A method for manufacturing a heat sealable polyester film is provided. A part of a recycled polyester material is physically reproduced to obtain physically regenerated polyester chips. Another part of a recycled polyester material is chemically reproduced to obtain chemically regenerated polyester chips. Modified polyester chips, the physically regenerated polyester chips and the chemically regenerated polyester chips are mixed to form a raw material mixture, and the modified polyester chips are formed from the recycled polyester material. The raw material mixture is used to form a heat sealable layer. A base layer is disposed onto the heat sealable layer so as to obtain the heat sealable polyester film. A heat sealing temperature of the heat sealable polyester film ranges from 120° C. to 230° C.

In a method for reprocessing plastic waste material, in embodiments PET waste material, the plastic waste material is dried by a flash dryer in a conveying line and then fed into a multi-shaft screw machine. In the multi-shaft screw machine, the dried plastic waste material is reprocessed. Pre-drying enables simple, energy-efficient, economical, reliable and effective reprocessing.

The present invention generally relates to a method of reducing contamination from plastics. The resulting purer plastic can be used in demanding applications.

Provided is a method for producing recycled pellets, capable of using loss films that have been inapplicable so far including a thick loss film, a wide loss film, and a loss film made of a material that has high hardness and therefore is less likely to be bent, and also capable of producing recycled pellets similar to virgin pellets. A method for producing recycled pellets includes the steps of: twisting one or more loss films (R) continuously supplied in one direction while applying a stretch to the loss film; pressurizing a twisted part to pressure-bond contact parts of the loss film (R), thereby forming a twisted string (R); and cutting the twisted string (R) to produce recycled pellets (P). The loss film (R) is preheated at a softening temperature of the loss film (R) prior to twisting the loss film (R) while stretching it.
