RECYCLING & ENVIRONMENT
With more brand owners responding to consumer demands to see more post-use plastics in packaging and other applications, material testing is vital to proving that recycled content performs in as acceptable a fashion as virgin materials.
To perform tests on regrind — reused plastic material that is ground, heated, then cooled into testing plaques or bricks — Carver offers press options for heating or heating-and-cooling applications, as well as an array of accessories. Material cut from test shapes is used to analyze a variety of recycled plastic properties, including density, color and impurity levels.
