Just came across a really cool article in edie.net reporting on a new Polymag® process that can significantly reduce the cost of recycling plastics. Found the following info on the manufacturer's website:
"The PolyMag® Process renders the plastic resin magnetic with an additive (high-concentration pellets) in a process similar to adding color concentrate. The quantity of the magnetic additive is extremely small and does not affect the physical properties of the plastic. PolyMag magnetic separators may be used to sort various types and/or colors of plastics. In fact, thePolyMag process can be used to separate more than two components by using a different amount of magnetic additive for each".
Very cool, always wondered how this process actually works. They also have a video demonstrating the process or click here to read more on the manufacturers website.
