Additives for the Recycling Industry Adding Value to Your Creation

Plastic products are an essential part of our lives without which many of the routine activities we undertake will never happen. Plastic is present in almost every item we use in our homes, offices, and every other walk of our lives. Our home appliances are mostly made of plastic. Our vehicles have many plastic components. Our phones, laptops, and all other electronic devices are mainly made of plastic. Our offices are filled with plastic products that help us with the day-to-day tasks. Our hospitals depend on plastic products for various medical procedures. In short, without plastic and plastic-based products, much of our world will come to a standstill. While we could control and minimize the usage of plastic with time and effort, it will probably take a few decades before we can independently function without the use of plastic. Despite having a never-ending list of benefits and applications, plastic also happens to be one of the biggest reasons for environmental pollution across the globe. As a result, solutions are being sought by all countries across the globe to control this phenomenon and put an end to it.

One of the solutions that has seen much push in recent years is to add additives to plastic waste while being recycled. The recycling industry breaks the used plastic down to its base form after which it is sold to various companies looking to purchase virgin plastic in bulk. The recycling company can apply various additives to achieve specific features based on the customer’s request such as stiffness, tensile strength, heat resistance, etc. Recyclers can also use additives such as MFI Modifi, antioxidants, chain extenders, elastomers, colourants, performance modifiers and nucleators to restore diminished properties or to compensate for undesirable attributes. This helps in more efficient rotation of raw plastic and minimises wastage which ultimately will help in reducing plastic wastage.

Blend Colours has a rich history and experience in the industry offering a wide range of high-quality masterbatches to suit the current needs of the recycling industry.
