Abstract: A method of recycling a waste resin product having a coated film formed thereon, may include crushing the waste resin product into roughly crushed resin pieces; at least partially removing the coated film via a chemical process from the roughly crushed resin pieces; and further mechanically removing the coated film from the roughly crushed resin pieces by finely crushing the roughly crushed resin pieces. The process results in finely crushed resin pieces having their film coating substantially removed.
