    Abstract:

    The increasing use of polymeric materials and the subsequent solid waste generation has led to the necessity of controlling the environmental impact through the polymer recycling process. The aim of this work was to make virgin polypropylene (PP), polyestyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) blended with their corresponding recycling material (100/0, 84/16, 68/32, 50/50, 34/66, 18/82, 0/100) via injection molding, and evaluate their hardness and impact fracture behavior. The impact testing method was Charpy impact test as for hardness measurement hardness Shore method was used. For all the cases hardness increased when increasing the recycled material percentage, as the contrary behavior was observed for impact strengths. These results suggest that the recycled material percentage has direct influence on mechanical properties of virgin polymers.
