Abstract:
1. Method for reprocessing used plastic containers, comprising shredding of the used plastic containers and further comprising the steps: a) analyzing a degree of contamination of the plastic, b) determining decontamination process parameters as a function of the degree of contamination found in the analyzing step, c) conducting controlled decontamination of the plastic according to the decontamination process parameters thus determined, such that the decontamination is automatically adapted to the actual contamination of the plastic, wherein the step of determining decontamination process parameters is performed after the step of analyzing the degree of contamination of the plastic, and wherein the step of determining decontamination process parameters further comprises providing determined decontamination process parameters to corresponding decontamination control elements that are automatically adjusted depending on the degree of contamination.
