Mechanical recycling and chemical recycling are two distinct approaches to plastic recycling, differing significantly in their processes and the quality of the resulting recycled material. Mechanical recycling involves physically processing plastic waste without significantly altering its chemical structure. The process typically includes sorting, cleaning, grinding, melting, and re-pelletizing the plastic to create new products. The primary advantage of mechanical recycling is its relative simplicity and lower energy co....
