REGRIND Meaning and Definition

  1. Regrind is a noun and a process used in the field of manufacturing and recycling. It refers to the act of grinding or crushing a material, typically a plastic, into smaller particles or fragments. This process is carried out in order to reuse or recycle the material, particularly when it has already undergone a previous manufacturing or molding process.

    During the regrind process, the material is subjected to grinding machines or equipment that break it down into smaller pieces. These smaller fragments are then used either as raw materials to be mixed with new materials in the production of new products or as filler material to increase the quantity of a particular material.

    Regrind is a cost-effective method to recycle or reuse plastic materials, as it reduces waste and the need for new resources. It also helps in environmental conservation by diverting plastic waste from landfills and reducing the demand for new plastic production.

    The use of regrind in manufacturing can have some limitations. For instance, frequent regrinding can affect the properties and quality of the material, leading to potential performance issues in the final product. Therefore, thorough quality control measures are necessary to ensure that the regrind material meets the required standards and specifications.

    Overall, regrind is a crucial process in the recycling and manufacturing industries, contributing to resource conservation and sustainable practices.

Etymology of REGRIND

The verb "regrind" is derived from a combination of the prefix "re-" and the noun "grind".

The prefix "re-" in English is commonly used to indicate repetition or revisiting an action. It comes from the Old English word "re-" or "ra-" which meant "again" or "back".

The noun "grind" is from the Old English word "grindan" which meant "to crush into particles", "to rub together", or "to wear down". This word has its roots in the Proto-Germanic word "grindanan" meaning "to grind".

When the prefix "re-" is added to "grind", it forms the verb "regrind", which conveys the meaning of "grinding again" or "repeating the process of grinding".
