Estimation method to achieve desired mechanical properties with minimum virgin polymer in plastics recycling
In the mechanical recycling of plastics, recycled polymers are usually mixed with virgin polymers to achieve the required mechanical properties. Maximizing the use of the recycled polymer requires satisfaction of the necessary properties by minimizing the mixing ratio of the virgin polymer. We propose a method for estimating the mixing ratio based on the equivalent box model combined with the percolation theory (EBM-P). After the EBM-P was verified for blends containing the recycled polymers, the proposed method was applied to assess behaviors of the mixing ratio. Thereby, it was revealed that for the recycled polymer with relatively high mechanical properties, a slight increase in the properties of the recycled polymer leads to a marked decrease in the mixing ratio. The salient benefit of our method is that it not only ascertains the appropriate mixing ratio; it also contributes to assessment of the substitutability of recycled plastics.
期刊介绍:
The journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling welcomes contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal prioritizes understanding the transformation processes crucial for transitioning toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. It highlights technological, economic, institutional, and policy aspects related to specific resource management practices such as conservation, recycling, and resource substitution, as well as broader strategies like improving resource productivity and restructuring production and consumption patterns.
Contributions may address regional, national, or international scales and can range from individual resources or technologies to entire sectors or systems. Authors are encouraged to explore scientific and methodological issues alongside practical, environmental, and economic implications. However, manuscripts focusing solely on laboratory experiments without discussing their broader implications will not be considered for publication in the journal.
