All BIOPLAST resins are mechanically recyclable like many other conventional plastic materials, if a specific procedure is provided. Internal trials have shown that up to 10% of recycled BIOPLAST in the finished film does not significantly harm the mechanical properties of a blown film made out of conventional recycled PE.
Furthermore, production waste of BIOPLAST resins can be easily regranulated without significant loss of their properties.
Recyclability also applies to energy recovery, as BIOPLAST resins have caloric power that is similar to polyethylene.
