Quality study of polymer-sanded slabs using MS-5B and MS-6B waste paper as an effective binder

The recycling of MS-5B waste paper into a test liner and fluting at JSC Karavaevo is accompanied by the accumulation of waste. The inevitability of waste generation and the need for disposal at the landfill requires significant financial costs, therefore waste recycling is an urgent problem of waste paper recycling. The waste paper mixture was fractionated into plastics, fiber, wood, minerals, metals, rubber, and fabric. It has been established that the total content of plastic and fiber in waste is more than 71% and can be fully used as a binder in thermal compression technology. To determine the qualitative characteristics of polymer-sanded plates, quantitative parameters of consumer properties were determined for the specified geometric dimensions of polymer-sanded plates samples. The study shows the effect of the content of waste paper in the composition, as a binder, of polymer-sanded plates on their properties. The effect of additives of fractionated polypropylene in the composition of polymer-sanded plates containing waste paper as a binder is shown.
