Polymers

The raw materials for the synthetically produced polymer materials come from both fossil and renewable sources. Overall, the materials are divided into four groups: Thermoplastics, Elastomers, Thermoplastic Elastomers and Duromers. Polymers and polymer-modified materials have variable and unique properties. Therefore, they can be used in many ways as engineering plastics, standard, functional and high-performance plastics. They are manufactured using primary moulding, forming and joining processes. Pure waste is processed using the usual plastics processing methods. Mixed and contaminated waste is recycled materially, raw materially, energetically or enzymatically.
