The recycling of polyethylene (PE) film is a straightforward process, provided the material that is being recycled has come from a clean source and is consistent in composition. Most waste film recovered for recycling has been subjected to a series of ‘life cycle factors’, e.g. comingling with wastes such as dirt, packaging tapes, and other plastic film products. Such contamination can degrade the material's physical properties and this article presents quantitative data on the effects of contaminants on PE films. Results suggest that dirt contamination can adversely affect the elasticity and melt viscosity of the polymer, but the contaminant does not interact directly with it and that polypropylene-based packaging tape is more suited to mechanical recycling than polyvinyl chloride or cellulose-based tapes.

Abstract The spread of biodegradable plastic film (BDFs) not only increase grain yield but also reduce the environmental pollution from plastic film to a large extent. Soil microbes have been considered to be involved in biodegradation processes. However, the study of microbes diversity in soil mulched with biodegradable plastic film remains limited. Here, we compared the diversity of microbes between soils with biodegradable film and non-biodegradable film (NBDF) mulch. The results showed that BDFs affected on the soil quality parameters, such as total C, P and NH4+-N, but also on the microbes species richness (ACE; Chao1) and diversity (Simpson index; Shannon index). In terms of dominant phyla and genera, BDFs and NBDF can influence the abundance of disparate species. Furthermore, BDFs could also contribute to improve the richness of the important functional bacterial groups in soil, e.g. Pedomicrobium and Comamonas, both of which have been found to be involved in the degradation of plastic residues in soil. Finally, we found that BDFs improved the transformation of nitrogen through increased significantly the abundances of Nitrobacter and Nitrospira. Our results highlight the impact of BDFs mulch on the abundance of functional bacteria in the soil.

Abstract In recent years, the research and development of devices using thin and flexible plastic films as substrates has been actively conducted. However, thin films, which have been growing in demand in recent years, have problems when rolled. Therefore, in this study, the physical properties were measured using a thin plastic film, the stress analysis was performed using the plastic film, and the internal stress of the roll was actually measured to evaluate the effect of thinning. As a result, it was found that the analyzed stress of the winding roll using the thin film was much lower than the measured value.
