Hi all,
I am looking for different types and shapes of microplastics: Polyethylene (PE), Polyamide(PA) and Polypropylene (PP) in the form of fibers, fragments and films. The size must be in a range of 50 - 4000 um. For the fiber shape, the size is around 15 um width - 700 um length.
Thank you for your help!
Bests.

Come back to me for further discussions about the use of Environmental and commercial MPs if you want:
Best regards.
Microplastics are also produced during Mechanical plastic recycling operations in the step of sorting and then "milling" of plastic packaging and some recyclers are selling milled plastics as "flakes" of selected plastics ( PE, PP, PS, PET, PVC, etc). In your area one of the mayor recyclers is: Swedish Plastic Recycling, see: https://www.svenskplastatervinning.se/en/materials-purchasers/ you might ask for a sample of PE and PP in flakes (microplastics) to https://www.svenskplastatervinning.se/en/contact/ or you might also propose to those people a scientific collaboration about
Enrico Costantini Thank you for your info. I have contacted the company but they only have recycling waste plastic in macro size.
