Management of waste polymers (polyethylene - PE and polypropylene - PP) represents one of the major
obstacles in the field of environmental protection, which demands a most efficient and eco-friendly
technological solution. Due to the high use of various plastic materials, the amount of landfilled or
dissipated plastic waste is continuously growing. Therefore, this paper examines the possibilities of
recycling these polymers, alongside obtaining granules of similar or advanced physico-mechanical
characteristics to the commercially available ones. The applied technology consists of several
consecutive processes (collecting, grinding, washing and extruding) where the obtained materials can
later be incorporated into widely applicable products, such as foils, bin liners, bags, among others. In
this way, high-quality products with great market potential are obtained, which will consequently
contribute to lower extraction and less depletion of natural resources. Thus major problems... may be
solved optimally, consolidating the efficiency of improved eco-friendly technologies which is in line with
environmental protection and sustainable waste management.
