Extruded and molded product producers have three options for handling internal scrap: re-use, sell or dispose of it. No matter the choice, some type of reprocessing is either required or beneficial. This course covers the logistics, economics and processing technologies used for reprocessing extruded/molded products, emphasizing the integration of reclaimed materials into the final product and in-house recycling programs.
