Guía de buenas prácticas para la utilización de plásticos reciclados en la fabricación de paneles aislantes acústicos con aplicación industrial

Abstract

Abstract: Polymers are materials made up of chains of molecules that have average molecular weights ranging from 10,000 to more than one million mole grams, and are formed by joining many monomers or units by chemical bonding to form giant molecules known as macromolecules. Plastics are materials composed mainly of polymers of natural or synthetic origin. In the city of Loja, the use of plastic containers is approximately 698 units per person per year, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) being two of the most commonly used materials in the manufacture of such containers. The increasing consumption of plastics worldwide generates high levelsof pollution to the planet, which is why in this literature review work we propose to develop a "Guide of good practices for the use of recycled plastics in the manufacture of acoustic insulation panels with industrial application" considering the use of recycled HDPE and rock woolas raw materials, in order to reduce pollution by this type of plastic, and prevent the occurrence of occupational diseases in workers exposed to noise pollution in industries.
