Benefit from more than 2,200 state-of-the-art applications, conducted with the most accurate and efficient lab technology.
Recycling
Precise analyzers are essential for efficient, economical plastic recycling
Plastic recycling can be done by different means, such as remelting of the same plastic type, chemical recycling into monomers, or through pyrolysis.
Metrohm provides top-quality analytical instruments, know-how, and first-class, on-site service to support recycling of plastic products no matter the process.
Benefit from our extensive global presence, operating in over 80 countries with more than 50 subsidiaries and 30 exclusive distributors.

- EB-004Near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy for polymer analysis: An introduction
This e-book explains how Raman and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy enable rapid, nondestructive polymer analysis, ensuring high quality while reducing costs and waste.
- AN-NIR-124Polyethylene content determination in polypropylene pellets by NIRS
Polypropylene and polyethylene can pose recycling challenges. With near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), users receive polyolefin composition results in seconds.
- AN-NIR-112Intrinsic viscosity (IV) determination of recycled PET by NIR spectroscopy
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is able to determine the intrinsic viscosity of rPET in less than one minute without any sample preparation. This Application Note demonstrates that the Metrohm DS2500 Solid Analyzer operating in the visible and near-infrared spectral region (Vis-NIR) offers users an easier way to perform this analysis without the use of toxic chemicals.
- AN-NIR-100Ash determination in polyethylene
The standard test method for ash content analysis is thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Although TGA is easy to perform, it is time-intensive and requires the use of nitrogen gas. In contrast to the primary method, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a fast analytical technique which can measure multiple parameters including ash content in polymers within one minute.
