Brief info on the course

The plastics industry is moving toward a circular economy. The best possible utilization of plastic waste and the use of recycled granulate for the development of new products go hand in hand. But which recycling and recovery processes actually exist and what do they achieve? What properties does recyclate have and how does it differ from virgin material?

In the future, developers and designers, as well as distributors and purchasers, will have to deal with these issues with confidence. Production and quality assurance also have to face this challenge and need background knowledge about recycling possibilities and limits.

This elearning course provides a sound overview of the available recycling processes, achievable recyclate qualities and clarifies terminology:

  • Fundamentals of mechanical, chemical and thermal plastics recycling.
  • Recyclable raw material sources: Recyclate, bio-based polymers, biodegradable polymers.
