Recycled Polypropylene and Its Reuse in Industry
Polypropylene, also known as PP, is a recyclable thermoplastic polymer produced from the polymerization of propylene gas. This material can be molded at high temperatures and is highly resistant and durable. With a shiny appearance and, in some cases, transparency, polypropylene is identified by the recycling code number 5.
As a recyclable material that is readily decomposed, polypropylene is versatile and offers economic and environmental advantages in recycling.

Recycling Process
Recyclable materials come from various sources, including selective collection, waste picker associations, industrial waste, and scrap dealers. Once these materials arrive, they undergo sorting by quality and type, which can include:
Mechanical Recycling
Mechanical Recycling
Processes plastic through grinding, transforming it into new forms and products.Chemical Recycling
Chemical Recycling
Involves reprocessing plastic to create basic petrochemicals.Energy Recovery
Energy Recovery
Involves incinerating plastic to convert it into thermal and electrical energy.
