ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ ВТОРИЧНОГО ПОЛИЭТИЛЕНА В РОТАЦИОННЫХ КОМПОЗИТАХ

В работе рассмотрены современные методы утилизации пластиковых отходов (в частности полиэтилена (РЕ), как самого распространённого промышленного полимера) и показана наибольшая перспективность технологии вторичной переработки отходов РЕ. Выбрана перспективная технология переработки вторичного РЕ (rPE) - ротационное формование. Проанализированы все источники в международных патентных базах и БД Scopus и Web of Science с 2000 года в области использования rPE в ротационном формовании. Показано, что введение rPE в ротационные композиты позволяет получать изделия высокого качества, при снижении себестоимости продукции и одновременной утилизации отходов РЕ. Что значительно снижает экологическую нагрузку на окружающую среду. В заключении сделан вывод о перспективности использования rPE в ротационном формовании и как следствии построения зелёной циркуляционной экономики.
