Author: Cailyn Wolberg Incorporating recycled plastics into the manufacturing process is an exciting, novel, but worrying proposition for many manufacturers and brands. On one hand, there is increasing pressure and financial incentives from consumers, governments, and regulatory bodies to increase the usage of recycled polymers. But at the same time, companies are hesitant to introduce additional variables to their manufacturing process that might result in inferior quality. There is a legitimate cause for concern on the part of manufacturers. Mechanically recycled polymers can have reduced chemical, thermal, and impact resistance when compared to their virgin counterparts. This naturally
