Key Points

Recycling of contaminated polyethylene waste often leads to reduced mechanical properties due to polypropylene presence.
Mechanical properties of the recycled material deteriorate significantly with even small amounts of polypropylene films.
Analysis of rheological, morphological, and mechanical properties reveals the extent of contamination damage.
Physical compatibilization methods may improve recycling outcomes for polyethylene waste containing polypropylene.

Implication

Study demonstrates how polypropylene contamination reduces mechanical properties in polyethylene waste, suggesting methods for improvement.

Abstract

During the recycling of polyethylene (PE)-based agricultural film waste, the presence of small amounts of polypropylene (PP)-containing films can significantly deteriorate the mechanical properties of the recycled material. This is...
