Key Points

Decontamination of volatile compounds is significantly influenced by co-solvent molecular structure, enhancing recycling efficiency.
Key finding shows that specific co-solvents improve the decontamination process of post-consumer recycled HDPE by 45% under certain conditions.
Analysis includes the use of supercritical CO2 as a main solvent in decontamination procedures for contaminated HDPE recycling.
Highlighting the importance of molecular structure in optimizing decontamination methods may lead to improved recycling practices.
