Efforts to recycle both post manufacturing and post consumer materials impacts both processing and long term stabilization. Consumption of stabilizers during multiple reprocessing steps not only effects initial properties, pre-degradation effects long term durability. This paper deals with the impact of recycling on stabilizer performance.
