Abstract
A method produces a shaped body from plastic waste and thermoplastic material including natural fiber components or thermoplastic material and natural fibers. Plastic waste and thermoplastic plastic including natural fiber components or thermoplastic plastic and natural fibers are introduced into a mixing device. The introduced materials are subsequently mixed in such a way that the materials are comminuted and at least partially melted, so that a substantially moldable base material is available after mixing. This at least partially melted base material is transferred into a mold for shaping the shaped body.
Claims14
A method for producing a shaped body (1) comprising the following steps:
- a. introducing plastic waste and thermoplastic plastic material comprising natural fiber components or thermoplastic plastic and natural fibers into a mixing device,
- b. mixing the introduced materials in such a way that the materials from step a. are comminuted and at least partially melt so that a substantially moldable base material is available after mixing, and
- c. transferring the at least partially melted base material into a mold for shaping and pressing the base material into an outer geometry of the shaped body (1).
The method according to claim 2, wherein the components according to step a. are shredded before being introduced into the mixing device.
