Recycling of plastic materials
A customer had a target to produce small bottles of polyethylene (HDPE) with a content of 50% recycled HDPE from household waste.
Norner carried out a pre-project to find possible sources for recycled HDPE and evaluate the relevant recycling companies who offer such materials.
In the second stage, Norner carried out a pilot test program for extrusion of bottles. The bottles were tested for relevant quality parameters like processability, stability and purity together with functional properties.
The results led to an approved material.
