The plastic recycling industry in Australia is largely concerned with the recycling of post consumer domestic products such as plastic milk, drink and detergents bottles. Little attention is currently being paid on recycling of post consumer industrial plastics such as plastic pails and containers used in building and construction products such as paints, oils and greases. This paper investigates the mechanical, thermal and dynamic properties for injection molded grades of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) of recycled post consumer industrial plastic and virgin HDPE and PP used in manufacturing of such containers.
