Can TDPA™ based plastics be recycled?
Yes, in-plant materials (trimmings, scrap, etc.) are normally recycled and commonly practiced amongst EPI’s manufacturers. The usual amount of recycled materials used is about 20% for degradable/biodegradable and 5% for non-degradable end products. This will ensure that quality of the end products is not compromised. Additionally, post-consumer plastics can also be recycled in existing recycle streams provided they have not already started to degrade.
