Today, more than before, the concern about the possible \u201csecond life\u201d of fossil polymers<\/b> is growing and imposes a more holistic approach to the subject by the project leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we are a in phase in which the care for the environment must be present in the list of key topics of any project. The EU circular economy approach and directives push all industries in the direction of the prefix \u201cRe\u201d: Re-use, Re-cover, Re-cycle<\/b> at any level possible. These “re”<\/b> options should be considered in advance. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is why designers and engineers must think how to make complex parts easier to disassemble. In the Automotive sector this virtuous approach started many years ago (’90). It was an inter-material competition to reach a mono material<\/b> solution<\/b>. At that time Polypropylene was the winner against several traditional polymers. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, in spite of this important passage, granted by the increase of the technical properties of PP,\u00a0 <\/span>for many car producers the increase of parts complexity and the low cost of the raw material have reduced the economic leverage to do it. As a result lots of tons of PP were not reused and their end of life was burning or, worse, landfill. <\/span><\/p>\n

Complexity is often represented by: paints, lacquers, surface chrome or metallization, metal inserts, glues, welding of different materials. Of course these combinations help to make technically outstanding\u00a0 <\/span>parts but often are a nightmare to re-cycle. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These difficulties also apply to materials with high added value, such as Polycarbonate<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This material brings exceptional properties and characteristics, which can remain available even after its recovery, for new further applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
