MATERIAL GUIDE

Recycled granulate — origin, properties and consistency.

For recycled material, an rPP or rPE label is not enough. Feedstock origin, batch documentation and process requirements matter.

01

Mechanical recycling and recycled granulate

Mechanical recycling allows plastics to be reused in further applications. Borealis distinguishes post-consumer and post-industrial streams and offers polyolefin recyclates for different uses, so origin and application should be described separately.

02

Material origin: ask about the specific waste stream

Distinguish post-consumer from post-industrial material. Ask for origin and batch identification; “recycled” alone does not make two batches equivalent.

03

Recycled-compound specification for supplier discussions

Describe the polymer, colour, process, required parameters and tolerances. Define sample and testing requirements. For specialised applications, request documents for the exact grade and use.
