Selecting recycled or reclaimed materials is a
popular strategy for improving sustainability.
New polymers containing recycled content are
being developed to reduce carbon emissions,
energy usage, waste and pollution.
Considerations include the ability to reduce
components to monomaterials that can be
recycled readily, or to include parts in the recycle
stream with other materials.
