Basic properties
Polypropylene honeycomb, commonly known as Akilux, is a plastic solution remarkable for its intrinsic recyclability.
Made from polypropylene (PP), a thermoplastic plastic, this material offers unique characteristics that set it apart in the sustainable materials industry.
Detailed Recycling Cycle
Main recycling steps
- Strategic collection and sorting Akilux waste is methodically collected through various channels: municipal programs, waste management companies and manufacturing industries. Precise sorting, both manual and automated, ensures the purity of the material.
- Preparation and Purification Thorough cleaning removes potential contaminants such as labels, adhesives and residues. A variety of techniques, including water washes and the use of solvents, ensure material quality.
- Mechanical processing The grinding process converts items into small particles or flakes. Advanced separation techniques, such as density baths, further refine material purity.
- Thermal regeneration Extrusion transforms flakes into pellets, which are heated and molded to create a new plastic raw material.
Industrial Valorization
Recycled pellets can be :
- Mixed with additives to improve their properties
- Used in a wide range of industrial applications
- Transformed by injection, extrusion or blow molding
Significant environmental benefits
Akilux offers a number of ecological advantages:
- Substantial reduction in plastic waste
