<\/span><\/p>\n Polypropylene or PP is part of the thermoplastic family. It must therefore be melted to be used (injection into manufacturing molds, blowing, extrusion, etc.).<\/p>\n As it cools, it hardens naturally, and can be reused this way many times. Polypropylene is commonly used, including in packaging, carpets, textiles, medical instruments, automobile parts and electrical equipment.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The main difference between polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene<\/a> (PE) is their molecular structure. Polyethylene is also a thermoplastic, but it is made from ethylene monomers rather than propylene.<\/p>\n PE is cheaper and more flexible than PP, but it is also less heat resistant and less rigid.<\/span><\/p>\n Here are some of the sectors where PP is commonly used.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/capeco-recycling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/recyclage-du-polypropylene-1.jpg” alt=”polypropylene recycling” title_text=”polypropylene recycling” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”7px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n These sectors are not exhaustive, as PP is also used in many other areas, including toys, sports equipment, gardening products.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The polypropylene recycling process is complex and requires a certain number of machines and technical skills. It differs from recycling other plastics, such as PET, because it generally has a higher melting temperature.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the first step of the PP recycling process, plastic waste, such as packaging, bottles, bags or PP objects are collected<\/a> and sorted according to their type and quality.<\/p>\nWhat is polypropylene?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
