Reactive Recycling for Polypropylene

Reactive Recycling offers an easy, fast, and cost-efficient way to upgrade your recycled polypropylene to improve performance.

Use existing extrusion equipment and simply add the Reactive Recycling products to the extruder together with the PP to be recycled.

For the recycling companies:

  • Tune the flow characteristics, MFR, of the recycled PP up or down to match application processing needs
  • Enhance processability of recycled PP
  • Increase the quality of the recycled PP

For the converter:

  • Enable use of higher amounts of recycled PP in the final application
  • Enable wider range of recyclable PP to be used – MFR optimization
  • Enhanced melt properties and more stable process for higher output
