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 …
Currently, it is very common to hear about the importance of plastic recycling for the care of the environment, since there is a generally negative perception of plastic, and many people think that is a harmful material. However, this material offers many possibilities and advantages to different sectors within the industry. It is important to …
Currently, it is very common to hear about the importance of plastic recycling for the care of the environment. It is very important to keep in mind that not all plastics are the same and, just as their uses are so different, so are their recycling possibilities. This means that to make better use of …
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 …
We have all heard about the importance of recycling plastic containers, the truth is that it is not easy, although we can talk about small advances, we still have a long way to discover. Today it seems impossible for us to think that what was once seen as a commercial revolution for the planet is …

Wood Plastic Composite is a kind of wood made from plastic waste, the trend of circularity that currently prevails has led different actors to innovate in uses and materials of a large number of products, mainly to improve the environment. How is this made? It is made with 60% of wood residues such as …
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 …
The use of technology in recycling is a great opportunity to insert ourselves into the circular economy, it will help us to ensure that the recycled material has the quality and properties similar to virgin resin. Currently, recycling technology has advanced so much that it allows us to take advantage of most plastic waste regardless …
Plastics are an essential part of our daily lives, yet their improper sorting and disposal have led to a global environmental crisis. It should be noted that plastics take many years to decompose, and their accumulation in landfills and oceans has caused serious pollution with adverse effects on wildlife. One solution that has been implemented …
