In addition, with the implementation of the Packaging and Container Recycling Law, There is a demand for recycling plastic packaging containers.

[0003] Generally, the process of recycling waste plastics and obtaining bottles involves These include washing, dehydrating, crushing, re-pelletizing, and blow molding of waste plastic. If the product is a collection of used plastic packaging, the contents of the packaging may be It contains impurities such as oils, fats, and surfactants, which often remain even after the cleaning process. For this reason, bottles made from recycled plastic materials are The residual oils and surfactants can cause odors in the bottle and reduce the interlayer adhesion of multi-layer bottles. There is a problem that...

[0006] For example, waste plastic containers and packaging and other general plastic waste Waste plastics containing vinyl chloride resin are treated with magnesium oxide and hydrotalcite. A method has been proposed in which an acid acceptor is added to suppress the generation of hydrochloric acid (Patent Document 1).

[0007] In addition, zeola is used in multi-layer plastic containers containing recycled resin layers from polyolefin-based packaging containers. Adding absorbents such as cellulose to absorb hydrocarbon volatiles generated by thermal degradation, A recycled resin container with less waste has been proposed (Patent Document 2).

[0008] However, Patent Document 1 is about a method for suppressing hydrochloric acid, and Patent Document 2 is about a method for suppressing hydrocarbon volatilization. This study examines methods for reducing odors through the adsorption of substances, such as oils and fats, surfactants, and bottles. The interlayer adhesive strength of the recycled plastics has not been examined. Recycled materials are difficult to remanufacture due to their inferior physical properties. does not describe any means for improving the physical properties.

The pellets were obtained in the same manner as in Example 2, but blow molding was not possible from the pellets. The pellets obtained were evaluated by the above-mentioned method. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0077] [Table 1]

[0078] Example 5 Direct injection molding machine with a 500ml square bottle mold, first to third extruders, and a multi-layer die head Using a blow molding machine (manufactured by Tahara Co., Ltd.), melt mass flow adhesive resin was injected into the first extruder. Maleic anhydride-modified polyester with a content of 0.1 parts by weight and a polymer chain length of 3 g / 10 min. ethylene (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name, Admer NF528), and a barrier resin in the second extruder. An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., trade name EVAL F171B ), and the third extruder was high-density polyethylene (manufactured by Tosoh, product name Nipolonhard 8300A). is added to form a 500ml square bottle with a 3-type, 5-layer structure, and then used as a plastic packaging container (a 1-2). At this time, the set temperature of all extruders and multi-layer die heads was 200°C, and the die The bottle was blow molded under the condition of a gap of 1.6 mm. The average wall thickness of the body of this bottle was 40 0 μm, and the layer structure of the multi-layer bottle is high density polyethylene (120 μm) from the inner layer Adhesive layer (20 μm) / Barrier layer (120 μm) / Adhesive layer (20 μm) / High density polyethylene The thickness was 120 μm.

[0079] Next, the obtained plastic packaging container (a1-2) was subjected to the same process as in Example 2. The collected plastic packaging containers (A) are then added and processed. Furthermore, the recovered material (A) was mixed with a compatibilizer (C) having a melt mass flow rate of 3 g / 10 min and anhydrous Maleic anhydride-modified polyethylene (manufactured by Arkema Co., Ltd.) containing 0.8 parts by weight of maleic acid 2.0 parts by weight of OREVAC OE825 (trade name) was added, and the mixture was mixed in the same manner as in Example 2. Created a let.

[0080] In addition, a die for a 500 ml square bottle, the first to third extruders, and a die equipped with a multi-layer die head are installed. Using an e-blow molding machine (manufactured by Tahara Co., Ltd.), melt mass, which is an adhesive resin, is injected into the first extruder. Maleic anhydride modified with a flow rate of 3 g / 10 min and a maleic anhydride content of 0.1 parts by weight Polyethylene (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Admer NF528), burr in the second extruder Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., product name EVAL F) 171B), the resin composition pellets were fed into the third extruder, and a 500 ml square extruder with a 3-type 5-layer structure was produced. Bottles were molded into plastic packaging containers (a1-2). And blow molding under the conditions of multi-layer die head set temperature 200℃, die gap 1.6mm The average thickness of the body of this bottle was 400 μm, and the layer structure of the multi-layer bottle was as follows: From the inner layer: resin composition layer (120 μm) / adhesive layer (20 μm) / barrier layer (120 μm) / The thickness was adhesive layer (20 μm) / resin composition layer (120 μm).

[0081] The pellets and multilayer bottles obtained were evaluated by the above-mentioned evaluation methods. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. show.

[0082] Example 6 Instead of 2.0 parts by weight of maleic anhydride-modified polyethylene (C1) as a compatibilizer, Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with a mass flow rate of 3 g / 10 min and a vinyl acetate content of 25% The same procedure as in Example 5 was repeated except that 2.0 parts by weight of polymer (C2) was used. The bottles were obtained and measured using the evaluation methods described above. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.

[0083] Example 7 Plastic packaging container (a1-2) 99.5 layers produced in the same manner as in Example 5 For the quantity, use edible rapeseed oil (manufactured by J-Oil Mills, AJINOMOTO smooth canola 0.5 parts by weight of oil was added, and the mixture was dried in the same manner as in Example 5. The collected plastic packaging containers (A) were used as the collected plastic packaging containers (A). ) was weighed and found to be 100 parts by weight, so the fat (a2-2) was 0.5 parts by weight. there were.

[0084] Thereafter, pellets and multi-layer bottles were obtained in the same manner as in Example 6. The results of the evaluation are shown in Table 2.

[0085] Comparative Example 4 Pellets and multilayer bottles were prepared in the same manner as in Example 5, except that the adsorbent (B) was not added. These were measured using the evaluation methods described above. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.
