Topic Tag: material quality

Hey, I wondered if anyone can tell me how many time PE can be recycled with out adding new raw material. I have found info online that says its recycleable only 1 or 2 times and other info that says its endlessly recyclable. I wonder if its the case that it would be endlessly recyclable should it stay 100% PE and that the sorting process means this is very difficult to achieve and the material is therefore us contaiminated with other plastics? or do plastic recycling firms say it is endlessly recyclable becuase they add an amount of raw material in the process? Also if it is only 1 or 2 times recyclable, do you know exaclty why? what it is that happens that means the quality is so drastically changed? Thanks in advance. Jojo
