Thermoplastic polymer has properties such as high-impact strength and heat-resistance and when mixed with the compounded thermoplastic polymer matrix it gives more high performance such as improved flow-ability and processing performance. Thermoplastic polymers include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyester, starch, and protein. Plastic recycling is a process in which useful products are produced through reprocessing and re-melting.

Market Dynamics

Major factors expected to drive the growth of the global recycled thermoplastic market are rapid industrializations in developed and developing countries, increasing plastic waste, coupled with rising R&D activities for development of eco-friendly plastic products.
