Recyclate

Recyclate in surface technology refers to recycled materials that are used in various surface applications. These recycled materials are obtained from previously used plastics or other raw materials that have undergone a recycling process to produce new materials.

In surface technology, recyclate is often used as an alternative to primary raw materials in order to reduce the environmental impact and minimize resource consumption. Recycled plastics can be used in coatings, paints, films or other surface materials, for example.

The use of recyclate in surface technology offers several advantages. It reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and reduces the need to extract new raw materials, which in turn reduces the environmental impact and carbon footprint. In addition, the use of recyclate helps to promote a circular economy by extending the life cycle of materials and encouraging their reuse.

Recycling technologies and processes for the production of recyclates are continuously being developed to improve the quality and performance of recycled materials. As a result, recycled plastics can be used in a variety of surface technology applications without compromising on quality or technical properties.

Overall, recyclate plays an important role in surface technology by helping to improve the sustainability of materials and products and reduce the environmental impact. By using recycled materials, companies can improve their environmental footprint while offering their customers more environmentally friendly solutions.
