The difficulty of processing thermoplastics at the end of lifecycle or post-production waste is very important for saving environment. Every year, tons of new raw polycarbonate thermoplastic grades (PC), are introduced to the market. Unfortunately, despite the theoretical possibility of recycling and reusing thermoplastics, polycarbonate recyclates are not popular on the market and they are wasted. The paper investigates and presents the relationships and changes in the mechanical properties as a function of the multiple processing of post-production polycarbonate panel waste. The possible types of plastic degradation during processing and its influence on the decrease of mechanical parameters ware investigated.
