ABSTRACT:
Molecular orientation stress is relieved in thermoplastic articles being prepared for reclaiming in order to shrink the article and decrease volume. Shrinkage is sufficient to cause separation of labels when the latter are present. When the articles are containers, each shrunk-back mass has the appearance of an individual, grotesquely distorted container, which, because of its reduced volume, is especially useful as feedstock to a reclamation system.
