“…Similarly, Lee et al [ 139 ] and Ashihara et al [ 140 ] used supercritical fluids (methanol and i‐propanol, respectively) to de‐crosslinking silane‐XLPE and found that supercritical solvents are able to de‐crosslink and recycle XLPE. However, the main problem of using supercritical fluids and batch systems lies their cost‐effective mass production and commercialization.…”

One of the most used resins in the plastics industry is polyethylene (PE).Although PE has good impact resistance and ductility, its low maximum use temperature and mechanical strength limit some commercial development, especially for load-bearing applications. To get better overall performances, crosslinking is performed to improve the chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of PE. Although PE can be crosslinked by using various chemical and physical methods, this makes the resulting polymers more difficult to recycle since a three-dimensional (3D) network is created. In this review, we first describe the different crosslinking techniques for PE to manufacture crosslinked PE (XLPE) parts. Then, as more than half of the XLPE-based products are disposed directly after use, we present several options to reuse and recycle these products to overcome this environmental issue and find a sustainable solution. A focus is made on mechanical recycling and de-crosslinking techniques for XLPE to generate recycled-XLPE (r-XLPE). Finally, a conclusion is presented on the current situation and research gaps that must be filled by future works.
