What is the difference between HDPE, LDPE, and MDPE?
Polycarbonate is made through the polymerization of bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene, and its thermoplastic nature makes it easily recyclable by melting and reforming.
How is HDPE recycled into new products?
Recycled PC is used in safety glasses, lighting components, and automotive interiors, maintaining durability and transparency.
Why is HDPE a preferred material for recycling?
Polycarbonate is an incredibly strong material and is therefore hard on our recycling equipment and contamination, such as metal, coatings or additives, can further complicate the recycling process.
