Industrial polymeric rejects have been focused on by researchers, busi
ness men and ecologists. In this work some rejects, mainly constituted
of ethylene-ro-vinyl acetate (EVA), have been studied. As is well kno
wn the molecular structure provides changes in the thermal and mechani
cal properties, which consequently affects the recycling of these mate
rials, and whether they can be used for a new application. (C) 1998 El
