“…Simulation of mechanical recycling by multiple processing and service life by accelerated thermal ageing to assess the effects of thermal and thermo-mechanical degradation has been previously performed for commodities [31], [34], [41], [52]- [57] such as polyethylene PE [53], polypropylene PP [53], polystyrene PS [54], [55], poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) [57] or poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET [29], [34], [41], [56], [58], [59], among others. Mechanical recycling of biopolymers has been mainly reported for poly(hydroxybutirate) [60], poly(caprolactone) [61] and polylactide.…”
