The coarse ground material was then crystallized in a vacuum oven at 160°C before drying the material at 160°C for approx. 4 hours within a PET drier • Plaques were then molded on a BOY XS and 10 of these were kept after each cycle, to take color measurements • This process was then repeated until 5 heat cycles had been completed RESULTS FOR RECYCLABILITY METHOD-1 As plaques were produced while the material went through five different melt heat histories, plaques were produced at each cycle and L*, a*, and b* values were measured.
