Abstract :
Recycling of municipal solid waste plastic is very important. In general, recycled resins have a low values in the world market due to degradation of their properties. In it is necessary to study methods to preserve the properties of the materials and increase the applicability of recycled material. In this work, we studied electrical and mechanical properties of three kinds of blends with recycled and virgin materials: HIPS, PP and HDPE. The recycled materials were obtained from post-consumer packaging, present in municipal solid waste.
