Industrial Innovation
More and more countries are adopting laws requiring the recycling of plastics, thus forcing plastics companies to recycle plastic waste on an industrial scale.
Indeed, the proliferation of plastic waste in our environment constitutes today an ecological threat. However, the delays that have been accumulated in the field of plastics recycling are not only due to a lack of political will or a lack of economic interest.
The industrial recycling of plastic materials, particularly post-consumer materials, involves major challenges, both logistical and technological.
In addition, the types of recycled materials are so diverse and varied that no global or universal solution exists.
Each plastic industry must innovate in order to develop solutions adapted to its own constraints and objectives.
The 5 major challenges faced by companies working or wishing to work in the field of plastic recycling are as follows:
-
Supply challenges
-
Decontamination challenges
-
Compounding challenges
-
Technological and equipment optimization challenges.
-
Commercialization challenges.

Expertise in Industrial Innovation
Supply of raw materials
How to evaluate and select the best recycled materials available on the markets.
Create your raw materials charter.
Those that enable you to maximize your profits while respecting your specifications.
Conditioning and decontamination of materials
One of the biggest challenges in recycling plastics is eliminating the contaminants they have accumulated during their useful life. Discover here the best solutions to overcome the challenges of conditioning and decontaminating recycled materials
Compounding of recycled plastics
Due to their strong heterogeneity, aggravated by the presence of often problematic contaminants, recycled polymers are difficult to compound.
This requires expertise and a lot of experience.
A know-how that IPC experts have been developing for many years and that we put at your service.
Optimization of Production Technologies and Processes
Due to their high heterogeneity and their high shear sensitivity. Recycled polymers are difficult to produce. It is necessary to know how to calibrate and optimize the production equipments parameters in order to avoid non-conformities and premature wear of machines. IPC's experts will enable you to meet these challenges, improve your production rate and boost your profitability.
Legal and commercial challenges
The recycling of plastics is increasingly subject to legal and commercial constraints.
The majority of G7 countries impose today laws that require minimum recycled content in many plastic products, while other regulations and standards prohibit its use.
In addition, each country has its own legislation and its own application procedures.
In this context, it becomes more and more complex for a manufacturer to establish a winning business plan.
Our experts will help you out.
