Abstract

This paper talks about the use of recycled polypropylene (pp) with fiberglass or calcium carbonate for the production of automotive spare parts . it illustrates the problem of global plastic waste by focusing on production of light weight and strong materials suitable for applications like side mirrors , wheels cover, door trims within the automotive industry. This process involves mixing recycled pp with additives to create high performance using techniques like : thermoforming, silicone molding, 3d printing and injection molding. With quality testing and characterization by ftir,dsc, melt flow index and density to ensure the codes and standards. This project promotes sustainability objectives to decrease the use of virgin material and reduce cost and reduce environmental impact to encourage sustainable manufacturing.
