The main objectives of the project, a joint research with McGill University, are producing in Jordan on a laboratory scale, a new multilayer greenhouse film incorporating degraded and weathered films; investigating the outdoors performance of multilayer films in comparison with traditional monolayer virgin films, investigate the feasibility of the new technology and introduce the new technology to potential manufacturers and interested parts in Jordan. A two-layer film blowing line has been purchased and installed at the Plastics Research Laboratory of RSS. A series of experimental trials have been conducted under controlled processing conditions using the optimum blend formulations. The films have been evaluated indoors and outdoors. A market and feasibility study on the developed technology has been carried out and finally the know-how developed during this project has been shared with potential plastic convertors and other interested institutions through a demonstration workshop.Text1 digital file (149 p. : ill.)application/pdfenJORDANPOLYETHYLENE FILMWASTE RECYCLINGPLASTICS INDUSTRYNEW MATERIALSCOMPOSITE MATERIALSAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONSPRODUCT DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONGREENHOUSESFEASIBILITY STUDIESPOLYMER AND PLASTICS TECHNOLOGYIDRC Final Report
