• Specific construction materials

Properties
Polypropylene is a semi-rigid polyolefin with good resistance to heat, fatigue and many chemicals. It can be translucent and exhibits an integral-hinge behavior. Typical uses include packaging film, housewares, labelling, stationery, reusable containers, banknotes, automotive parts, thermal underwear, carpet fibres and rope.

Recycling process (summary)

• Collecting
• Sorting
• Cleaning
• Reprocessing
• Production of new products

Environmental benefits

• Reduces consumption of finite raw resources (propane gas, oil)
• Energy use can be significantly reduced when producing from recycled material (industry estimates up to ~88% savings in some cases)
• Recycled polypropylene can be used to manufacture clothing fibres, industrial fibres, food containers, compost bins, speed humps, dishware and gardening products
