Characterizing Recycled Polymers for Reliable Manufacturing

Recycled polymers offer an important opportunity to make manufacturing more sustainable—but they can also introduce significant material variability. This webinar shows how comprehensive characterization helps manufacturers assess the suitability of post-consumer recycled materials and establish reliable quality standards.

Using polyethylene as an example, we compare virgin and recycled materials through DSC, melt flow index measurements, rheology, and tensile testing. Learn how a complete material profile can reveal differences in composition, processing behavior, and mechanical performance, helping reduce trial-and-error testing and support informed feedstock selection.

Join the webinar to evaluate recycled polymers with greater confidence before production starts.
