| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set, users should ensure that they consider the calibrated process data from 2016, specifically from ZEDA in Tianjin, which is indicative of the recycling output and environmental impact from that year. Users should note that the data provided reflects the performance of the mechanical recycling of waste polypropylene at that time and must be applied cautiously if used for projecting future implications. Seasonal and operational variations should be considered, and adjustments may be needed to suit respective recycling contexts and technological progress. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The recycled polypropylene derived from waste polypropylene mechanical recycling process is primarily utilized as a raw material for manufacturing various plastic products. This includes items such as automotive parts, plastic containers, garden furniture, and carpet fibers. The mechanical recycling process, as described, reflects industry standard practices within large-scale recycling operations and is specific to the applications that demand materials of secondary grade, often in bulk quantities. |
