Application research on adding recycled materials to lables of packaging industry

Absrtact
One of the problems faced by the resource recycling industry in Taiwan over the years has been that the labels of beverage bottles cannot be recycled and reused, so that they have to be entrusted for removal and incineration at a cost of about NT$6 per kilogram. Not only that, nearly 800 metric tons of label recycled materials per month in Taiwan also occupy a lot of space in the processing plant, and the cost of incineration will also increase in the future. Therefore, how to recycle and reuse labels has become a very important issue. At the same time, the packaging technology industry should also fulfill its social responsibilities and implement a circular economy. This research has been able to successfully recycle the secondary label material into plastic granules at the technical level, and also conducted the test of the secondary label material reuse. The research results found that the largest secondary label material reuse the obstacle is that the impurities are too high, which affects the quality of the label. In the case where the performance of the existing machine is improved, it may be difficult to use the secondary material as a label again. However, after in-depth analysis of this research, it is found that the plastic pellets made from waste label recycling can be made into plastic bags and plastic wood products under a certain proportion of new and old materials. The quality required by plastic wood. In the future, we will continue to conduct in-depth research, try to apply waste labels to garbage bags and plastic-wood products in mass production, hoping to open the way for reuse of waste labels to continue to achieve the purpose of this research.
