Abstract
Polymeric materials-based waste has been accumulating over the years and now these can be found not only on the land but also in the waters across the globe, and has become a serious global crisis in many ways. Among used plastics, end-of-life vehicles (EOLV) and electrical-and-electronic-equipment (EEE) are two major sources of polymeric-waste. These wastes can have variety of combinations of polymers, and the properties of such blends are not well-understood yet. In this work, the effects of six different process parameters were tested with three types of recycled polymers (derived from EOLV and EEE waste) under various processing conditions. The results confirmed that the properties and processing behavior of recycled materials can be highly variable and hence difficult to predict. Furthermore, findings highlighted the importance of knowing their actual constituents and also the selection of appropriate process settings to achieve the desired product properties while saving resources.
