Abstract
Increasing usage of gift cards will end up increasing the waste. Instead of throwing in the dustbin, re-cycling the cards may help in increasing the product usage and contribute to the environment sustainability. In this study, the re-cycle gift cards were combined with polyester to produce polymer blend. The composition of re-cycle gift cards was 2, 4 and 6 wt%. The gift card was crush and mix with the polyester and hardener followed by casting to get the suitable shape based on the testing. Three testing was undergone to evaluate the polymer blend properties which are tensile test, Charpy’s impact test and Durometer hardness test. Similar trend was shown for all mechanical testing which showing an increase of performance from 2 to 4 wt% addition of recycle cards but reduce when achieved 6 wt%.
