How to distinguish ABS plastic new material and recycled material ?

Some toy products, marked ABS plastic, but may use ABS recycled material. So in our daily, without experimental equipment, how to distinguish ABS plastic new material and recycled material ?

Recycled material is also divided into many species, some may be 95% of new materials with 5% of recycled material. It is difficult for inexperienced people to distinguish the two, but through careful observation and touch, we can also find the difference.

1. The recycled material will be difficult to avoid the attachment of some dust particles, so there will be some small hemp, but the new material is not.

2. The smell of the recycled material is large, the new material is small; It will be more obvious while burning.

3. Toys made of recycled ABS material usually with dark color, while that of new materials is brighter. 

4. The impact resistance and flexural performance of the new material is stronger than that of recycled material.
