The American public's desire to recycle and the predictions of future recycle mandates are motivating automotive OEMs and plastic suppliers to address the recycling of plastic materials. As a result, the OEMs and plastic industry groups have asked resin suppliers, automotive dismantlers and reprocessors to assist them in studying and developing solutions for the recovery of post-consumer automotive plastics and recycling those materials back into automotive applications. The Dow Chemical Company has been a participant in plastic industry sponsored projects and has initiated numerous research and development activities involving the recycling of automotive thermoplastic and thermoset materials, as well. This paper addresses the recovery, separation, characterization, reprocessing, and modification of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC) /ABS automotive interior grade thermoplastics, with the following studies:
