Determining the comminution behavior of plastic particles in milling processes

The recycling of plastics is an important issue in terms of environmental sustainability, recyclability and of waste management. The development of proper technologies for plastic recycling is generally recognized as a priority. To achieve this aim, the technologies that have been developed and applied in mineral processing can be adapted to recycling systems. In particular, the improvement of comminution technologies is one of the main actions to improve the quality of recycled plastics. The aim of this work is to study the comminution processes in milling for different types of plastic materials.
