Recycled Plastics on Flooring:


One can use recycled plastics in various applications in today's world. It can be mixed with virgin,bitumen and other materials for road applications.Based on the requirements,relative humidity and condition of the road,the recycled plastic materials Polyolefins,pvc,polyolefins,engineering plastics and rubbers can be added.The thickness of the road and performance has to be met with the highways department norms.There have been quite number of roads have been tried on various materials and formulations in many places across the world.This has open the door to the recycled plastics to be filled in this market segment.


Recycled plastic materials are easy to source out for this flooring application and the demand is going to increase many fold when the government forms the regulations on recycled plastics for highways and construction applications.This will improve the quality of the existing road.There are couple of options can be tried out with fully recycled plastics for sport flooring application and with bitumen,the recycled plastics,fibers formulation also works out very well.With recycled rubbers and plastics,there will be a good result expected.These materials formulated when keep in mind of three things ie shocking absorption,slip resistant,long life of the road.


I have seen adding rock fibers with existing bitumen mixture,can increase the life term of the road to a few more years.In a way, we can add glass fibers waste on these applications too.PET bottle scrap,packaging recycled plastic materials do find its role in such applications.
