Abstract: The current study on the recycling of waste crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE) was reviewed. The recycling methods for XLPE included pulverization, heat assistant shearing, supercritical fluid process, ultrasonically aided singlescrew extrusion, and solid state mechanochemical milling. The mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of the recycling methods were outlined, which provided experimental and theoretical foundation for recycling XLPElike waste thermosetting plastics with low cost.

Key words: cross-linked polyethylene, recycling, thermoplastic process
