I’ve had a really insightful couple of days in Dallas, learning all about plastic recycling with the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). This is a topic close to the hearts of the Polymer Division at NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing and I am looking forward to applying what I have learnt in supporting the recycling industry. #thermalanalysis #rheology #plastics #polymers #plasticsrecycling

The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) recently did a great job updating their website in mid-September. I specially found the APR Global Compliance Catalog very useful. It is a unique dashboard that allows users to review and compare recycling guidelines from various organizations around the world! It is currently accessible to APR members only, but I hope they make it public in the future. Check it out at the link below. #Recycling #Plastics
