Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer that is made in the chemical industry and is used in a wide variety of applications. Such applications include packaging, textiles, stationary, and automotive components.
PP scrap is commonly recycled, and has the number "5" as it's plastic identification code. PP scrap is typical strong, tough and has a resistance to heat, chemicals, grease and oil. In addition, PP is versatile and acts as a barrier to moisture.
In the current day and age plastics are used for a variety of applications due to their beneficial properties, mainly because of their extreme versatility and ability to be tailored to meet very specific technical requirements.
Plastic Film Recycling
