Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a degradable polymer and a nondegradable polymer from mixing with each other in a process for recovering polymers. CONSTITUTION:A fluorescent material is added to a degradable polymer compsn. to enable differentiation of the compsn. from a nondegradable polymer compsn. The fluorescent material added gives a degradable polymer an appearance under ultraviolet rays different from that of a nondegradable polymer. Thus, the degradable polymer is easily separated from the nondegradable polymer in a process for recovering polymers.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, for the purpose of resource conservation, it has become more and more common to collect synthetic resin packaging materials, containers, etc., once used and reuse them as polymer raw materials. Traditionally, these synthetic resin products are polyethylene, polypropylene,
Materials made of resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl chloride are used. Recently, attempts have also been made to make these synthetic resin products from polymers that are degradable in the natural environment, to decompose them in seawater or soil, or to collect and collectively decompose them.

However, since products made of these degradable polymers and non-degradable polymers are almost indistinguishable from each other in appearance, non-degradable polymers may be mixed in the degradable polymers when the polymers are collected and recycled. On the contrary, there arises a problem that the degradable polymer is mixed into the non-degradable polymer. If the non-degradable polymer is mixed in the degradable polymer, the decomposition may be hindered or the non-degradable polymer may remain after the treatment, causing troubles in the decomposition treatment equipment. Further, if a degradable polymer is mixed into the non-degradable polymer, there is a big problem that the quality of the polymer recovered and recycled is deteriorated.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, a degradable polymer and a non-degradable polymer can be distinguished from each other, and when recovering and recycling the polymer, the non-degradable polymer is mixed with the degradable polymer, or conversely, non-degradable polymer. It is possible to eliminate the possibility of causing a problem that a degradable polymer is mixed into the functional polymer.
