Marisabel Dolan will be speaking at the National Week of Plastics Processing Conference
We are pleased to announce that NexantECA's Marisabel Dolan will be speaking at the SPE: Inspiring Plastics Professionals 'National Week of Plastics Processing Conference'
Marisabel will be discussing the question 'Mechanical Recycling Is Not Going Away. Why?'
Mechanical recycling is the most cost-effective plastic recycling method worldwide. While plastics’ applications have become more demanding, and more advanced recycling methods are needed, this traditional manner of recycling, despite its limitations, will continue to be an important part of plastic recycling. It is for this reason that technology developers and equipment manufacturing companies continue to work on improving the way to recycle plastics, focusing on PET, HDPE, and PP, the three thermoplastics most suitable to be mechanically recycled. Most appealingly, the economics of processing scrap to flakes indicate that mechanical recycling can produce recycled pellets that can be economically competitive against virgin material.
