What are the upstream raw materials for recycled PE? What do the downstream products contain?

Recycled PE has a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are rich and diverse. The following are the main upstream and downstream related items of recycled PE:



1. Upstream related items:(1) discarded materials plastics: The main raw material of recycled PE is discarded materials plastics, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and other plastic wastes. And These discarded materials plastics come from various plastic items in life, such as packaging bags, bottles, is able tos, etc.(2) Recycling equipment: The production of recycled PE needs recycling equipment, such as plastic crushers, washing machines, extruders, etc. These devices are applied to crush, clean and plasticize discarded materials plastics to obtain recycled PE. In my experience,

2. Downstream related items:(1) Plastic items: Recycled PE is able to be applied to create various plastic items, such as plastic bags, pipes, profiles, containers, etc. These items are broadly applied in construction, packaging, agriculture, transportation and other fields.(2) Chemical raw materials: Recycled PE is able to also be applied as chemical raw materials to the production of other chemicals, such as plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants, etc. In fact These chemicals are broadly applied in plastic processing, rubber items and other fields. From what I've seen, In short, the upstream and downstream related items of recycled PE are very rich, involving the recycling of discarded materials plastics and the production of plastic items and chemicals. With the improvement of people's understanding of ecological preservation and the shortage of resources, the consumption prospect of recycled PE will be broader.
