Study on the Identification of Adulteration of Polycarbonate Drinking Bottles with Postconsumer Recycled Plastics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Adulteration of polycarbonate (PC) drinking bottles with postconsumer recycled PC materials was considerably difficult to identify due to similar chemical compositions and minute differences between virgin and recycled PC materials. In the present study, UV/Vis spectroscopy coupled with GC-MS analysis was carried out to identify the adulteration with recycled materials in PC drinking bottles. The minimum adulterating level which could be detected was 20 %. This strategy represents a rapid and promising analytical method for screening the adulteration of PC drinking bottles with postconsumer recycled plastics.
