Hello, I'm a student at the Material Engineering Department and I'm writing a technical report on the following issue: " PET bottles Scrap and its potential reuse". I am trying to find answers for some of my questions regarding the use of PET bottles scrap in industry and the problems that occur while working with this material. I'd be glad if you could help me with some of the questions:
- What is the definite PET-structure in the bottle (crystalline or/and amorphous);
- Could we reuse PET bottles Scrap as 100% for new bottles production?
- If "not", why? What are the problems and difficulties in such use?
- Why PET bottles Scrap dosage does not exceed the 30% for new bottles production?
- What is the other PET bottles Scrap potential processing applications?
- What are potential dosages for PET bottles Scrap using in these applications?
- Why PET bottles Scrap is not used for "injection molding" processes, like in "extrusions" ones?
- May be the best solution for PET bottles Scrap is depolymerization process ?
I'll be very appreciative for detailed answers, Thanks in advance, Gregori Shuster
