Method for recycling a transfer product

A method for recycling a transfer product having at least one carrier film, wherein a transfer ply is arranged detachably at least partially on the at least one carrier film, and wherein the following steps are carried out in the method:

• a) shredding the transfer product, by means of a shredder or a shredding device, into transfer product shreds, b) extruding the transfer product shreds into an extrusion product, wherein, in step a), during the shredding of the transfer product, the at least one transfer ply is at least partially removed from the at least one carrier film, whereby a mixture of transfer product shreds and/or carrier film shreds and/or transfer ply constituents results and wherein, during the extruding in step b), the transfer product shreds, are plasticized and homogenized by means of an extruder system, and wherein the transfer product shreds are heated up to their melting temperature by means of heat input and are then compressed by means of the extruder system, whereby a uniform molten plastic is provided.
