The aim of this work is to demonstrate the potential for the use of plastic recyclates within the electrical industry and to show which of the processing possibilities can be utilized to recycle plastic waste from the industrial environment to close the loops. The use of plastics has increased significantly in recent years, in part due to their material properties. As the processing of plastics increases, the associated environmental impact and climate change are also coming into focus. Plastics are durable, and only degrade very slowly. In addition, producing plastics generates emissions that have an impact on the environment and the climate. Within Germany, the electrical industry is the fourth largest plastics processing industry. Due to this, the industry is paying particular attention to how it uses raw materials and to where secondary materials can be used. However, due to the high demands on product properties coupled with process reliability issues, recycled plastics only account for 4.5 %F PUB:(DE-HGF)11 %9 Dissertation / PhD Thesis %R 10.18154/RWTH-2025-04654 %U https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/1011683
