| Summary: | The recovery of waste from old vehicles generates different types of waste. Most waste can be recovered with more or less success. Among the wastes that are problematic is foam. It is large in volume and light in weight, and there is currently no highly efficient technology to recover this waste and produce new products. The aim of this paper is to analyse the current situation in the processing, research, development, design and testing of test samples as a basis for the production of a machine to produce new 3D products made from waste foam. The paper begins with an analysis of the amount of plastic waste generated in the automotive industry. It describes the current state of waste management and the possibilities of its use in the production of new products. The core of the paper is the selection of suitable technology and the design and verification of experimental measurement and evaluation of test samples at different temperatures and pressures and with different endurance times. |
