The difference between polymer and plastic is complicated as all plastics are polymers but not all polymers are plastic. Many companies and universities agree that polymer alone is essentially useless, and it must be combined with other mediums to form a usable product.

Solvent-based plastic recycling method to remove inks and produce clear films

A solvent-based plastic recycling method that removes color and produces plastic polymers substantially free of exogenous colorants. The method comprises selecting a solvent that selectively dissolves an individual polymer and has low solubility of colorants and decomposition products of the colorants. A combined precipitator and piston device is used to precipitate the polymer solution and mechanically remove the solvent from the precipitate before thermal drying. An adsorption bed is used to clean the recovered solvent as it is recycled to the process.
