ABSTRACTThe topic of Urban Solid Waste (USW) has become increasingly controversial in our times due to the high volumes being produced and not disposed properly; one effective way to reduce the generation of USW is finding new ways to recycling. This study proposes a means of recycling Tetra Brik® (TBr) cartons and high density polyethylene recycled containers (HDPEr), by generating an agglomerate with optimal mechanical properties in comparison with other TBr-based agglomerates. For the analysis of this material’s mechanical properties, two types of evaluation tests are carried out; flexure and screw pull-out test. Results show significant mechanical advantages over other TBr-based laminates by the integration of an HDPEr matrix to the system, thereby improving mechanical properties.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is used as the matrix and attapulgite (ATT) is used as the reinforcing phase. HDPE/ATT nanocomposites are prepared by melt blending. The effect of ATT content on the mechanical properties, water absorption and morphology of HDPE/ATT composites was studied. The results show that adding a small amount of ATT can improve the mechanical properties of HDPE, but excessive addition will reduce the mechanical properties of HDPE. The water absorption and contact angle test results show that as the ATT content increases, the composite material becomes more and more hydrophilic. After joining ATT, the performance of HDPE / ATT composite material has a significant improvement effect, and it is believed that it will have broad application prospects in the future.
