A
lthough plastic polymers require greater processing as
compared to many other recyclables, plastic recycling has
become an increasingly important sector of recycling and waste
management. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering
different types of plasticmaterial inorder to reprocess them into
varied other products, unlike their original form. An itemmade
out of plastic is recycled into a different product, which usually
cannot be recycled again. Recycling plastic saves twice as much
energy as burning it in an incinerator, saves carbon dioxide,
land filling and incineration. Polyethylene terepthalate (PET)
and Polyurethane are among the most widely used polymers
in wide variety of applications all over the globe. Recycling of
these offers numerous products which have potential to be
utilized in various industries including construction, insulation,
coatings, composites etc to name a few.
