Polymers are divided into two types: thermoplastics which are characterized by being flexible or deformable at high temperatures, so they can be melted and reformed several times to recycle the plastic; and thermosets, which are materials that are easy to mold at high temperatures, but cannot be re-melted because they burn, making it impossible to […]

To optimize the plastic circularity, it is essential to evaluate that the recycled materials have sufficient quality to produce new products. Meaning it is necessary to analyze that they do not lose properties such as lightness, flexibility, and resistance (to impact or high temperatures). Therefore, for the resin created with recycled materials to be competitive

Polypropylene has multiple uses. Very easy to find in laboratory equipment, automobile parts, medical appliances, and even food and drink containers, its properties allow it to be in contact with food without affecting it, making it an inert and innocuous material. In addition, thanks to its high chemical resistance, it is one of the most
