Tackling the Challenges of Recycled Plastics

Our Webinars to Build Confidence in Recycled Plastics

The pressure to substitute virgin plastics with recycled plastics and still produce high-quality products is growing. New regulations are being introduced to drive circular economy targets - forcing manufacturers across Europe and the world to increase the use of recyclates in their products.

But with this shift come big questions:

How do I know if a recyclate is good enough to replace virgin material?
Will it be processable the same way?
Could it compromise my product quality - or even create liability issues?

The following four on-demand webinars provide practical and scientific answers to help you more confidently select, qualify, and work with recycled materials. Whether you're just starting to work with recyclates or are deep into development, these webinars are designed to help you make informed decisions based on real data and testing strategies.

? Note: The methods shown in the webinars are not only applicable to PP, they are also applicable to many other polymers!

This case-study webinar examines the practical challenges of using recyclates by comparing a virgin PP with two recyclates of different cost and quality, highlighting how varying PE content affects processing and performance. Through DSC and rheological analysis, we provide actionable insights for evaluating recyclate quality and making informed decisions on substituting virgin resins.
