Since the influence of processing on the stabilization system is negligible, the previously injection moulded material can be reused. The decrease in stiffness and impact behaviour must be considered however, and practical tests and lifespan tests should be performed. Based on the information generated by this investigation, we suggest a scrap rate of approximately. 8%. In this first phase, the influence of processing was investigated. We are currently also testing the influence of detergents on compounds containing recycled material. The results will be published as soon as they are available.
