Hello,

I would like to assess the potential environmental impact a recycling process of a polypropylene product. Is there a polypropylene recycling process? I have only found recycled PET and HDPE.

Thank you for your help.

Dear Gertri,

At the moment there is no process on the recycling of polypropylene in the database. Polypropylene gets treated by several other processes (incineration, open burning, open dump, landfill etc.).
