At each production of plastic products appear waste. Recycling may allow the reuse of new compositions in the production of their own products, if the physico-mechanical parameters will almost match the original values. The following are the results of studies of the mechanical properties of the composition of waste PE 100 and PE 80 and […]

Europe refuses plastic. When can Ukraine do this?
The European Parliament adopted a law on a fundamental restriction of the use of plastic and products from it. UNIAN understood when such a ban could be introduced by Ukraine, following the course of European integration. The European Parliament at the end of March approved a bill to reduce the volume of plastic garbage. He […]
In Ukraine, the first steps are being taken to remove the waste recycling industry from the shadow.
The transfer by the Cabinet of Ministers to local authorities of the ability to set tariffs for the export of sorted and unsorted household waste creates a regulatory framework for the removal of the garbage industry from the shadows. About this in the commentary correspondent GolosUA said the director of the research and development center […]
Trinseo raises April PS prices in Europe
Trinseo (formerly Styron), a large European manufacturer of polystyrene (PS), announced an increase in April prices for all brands of PS in Europe, the company said.

Finland intends to double the disposal of plastic waste
In the coming years, the costs of recycling and recycling plastic waste will increase in Finland. In the next six years, in Finland, it will be necessary to process two times more plastic than now. Now manufacturing companies pay taxes on the use of various materials, not just plastic. At the moment, this tax brings […]
Secondary polyethylene granules – what it is, how they are produced, use
Secondary polyethylene granules – what it is, how they are produced, use The production of pellets from polyethylene waste is one of the most profitable from the point of profitability and ecology of the business. Secondary granules LDPE or HDPE can reduce the cost of production of new goods without compromising their quality. Many products […]
HDPE exports from Europe fell by almost 18% in January
Exports of low pressure polyethylene (HDPE) from Europe to other world markets declined in January this year by 17.7% compared with the same month last year, ICIS reported, citing data from the statistical agency Eurostat. Thus, the export of material from EU countries during the reporting period amounted to 72.39 thousand tons. In January 2018, […]
What will be the oil and gas after the “plastic restrictions” of the EU
The “ideal storm” continues to gain momentum in the world, approaching the petrochemical industry. The main role in this is played by the growing attention of consumers to the ecology and waste of plastics, changing business models of production and trends of digitalization. What consequences this will have for petrochemistry is described in a study […]
How to paint secondary polymers
Almost all plastic products are made in colored form (except for products where transparency is necessary). Color plays a significant role in shaping consumer preferences. By introducing pigments and dyes into the secondary polymers, one can mask the non-uniform color, the wish and give them a presentation. Problems of secondary PE staining and solutions Problem […]
Drying crushed and washed HDPE and LDPE during processing
One of the key stages in the processing of recycled polymers is the drying of semi-finished and finished granules. It allows you to significantly improve the quality of plastic products and improve the behavior of polymers during extrusion or casting. When recycling plastic waste, the process of separating moisture is inevitable. This article will discuss […]
