Panasonic Introduces Plastic Recycling Equipment

According to overseas media reports, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan announced recently that it has developed plastic recycling equipment that can recycle used plastic materials such as TV shells containing brominated flame retardants.

Plastics containing brominated flame retardants are widely used because they can reduce the flammability of home appliances and textile products. However, the use of previous recycling technologies will reduce physical properties such as impact strength of the materials, making it difficult to recycle them. Matsushita Electric's equipment used to remove the flame retardant using solvents, and then recover, basically no impact on the impact strength, in addition to re-add other flame retardants and reinforcing materials, can achieve higher strength than new materials . In this way, even if 100% of the recycled materials are used for different parts, the products can be formed, and the utilization of home appliances such as televisions can also be improved.

The recovered plastic can also be recycled using the equipment again, for a total of approximately 10 recycling times.

In the future, the company will devote itself to designing large-scale recycling equipment so as to increase its recycling capacity to about 1 ton per day and strive to reach the practical level in the second half of 2003.
