The new wave in recycling is cold extrusion. It is playing an even great part of waste plastic than before. Engineers at Bradford University are testing different processes in plastic recycling, using cold and warm extrusion. What they have found so far are that cold extrusion was more suited to recycled plastic. They are able to cold extrude it into sheets or blocks.
The plant at Bradford is currently sending its recycled plastic off to be manufactured into acoustic baffles for use in new construction. The market is ready and driven by new Building Regulations. These is just another step in the ‘Green Revolution’.
