Post-consumer PET (polyethylene terephthalate) containers in the Republic of Croatia are being baled and delivered to recycling plant, where they go through various phases of cleaning and separation of PET from other materials. Waste from the recycling process consists of different materials - PET, labels and sleeves (poly(vinyl chloride), paper and polystyrene) as well as caps (polypropylene and polyethylene). The intention was to make use of this waste, so mouldings were made by compression moulding and their mechanical properties were tested.
