A new recycling technique has been developed which uses a natural solvent, d limonene, to shrink expanded polystyrene (EPS). d-Limonene is a natural vegetable oil which is extracted from the rinds of citrus fruits and is a good solvent of EPS. Limonene has almost the same solubility as toluene at ro
A dissolution/reprecipitation process has been developed for recycling low density polyethylene. In this paper model experiments on virgin material, either in the form of pellets or film for greenhouses, are presented. It is proposed dissolution of the plastic in an appropriate solvent, reprecipitat
