  • Publication number: 20240301181
    Abstract: Compositions comprising post-consumer recyclate polyolefins are described herein. The post-consumer recyclate are blended with virgin resin using a compatibilizer and an impact modifier. The resulting blends showed improved physical properties compared with compositions not containing compatibilizers and/or the impact modifier. The variability in physical properties upon addition of compatibilizer and impact modifier allows for selection of resins to produce blended resins with desired physical properties for a wider range of applications than was previously possible with recycled plastics.
