The invention discloses a method for recycling a waste TPO 
skin material, and relates to the technical field of 
material recycling. The method comprises the following steps of sorting, clearing and removing impurities from scrapped workpieces containing TPO 
skin materials, crushing the scrapped workpieces into material blocks, pouring the material blocks into a stirrer, adding a swelling agent 
aqueous solution, heating, stirring, degumming, and separating to obtain TPO material blocks; and cleaning and 
drying the TPO material blocks, putting the TPO material blocks into a high-speed mixer, adding an extracting agent, stirring, feeding into a double-screw extruder through a forced feeding 
machine, extruding, defoaming, granulating, cooling, 
drying and dicing. The method solves the problem of resource waste caused by landfill treatment of the scrapped workpieces containing the waste TPO 
skin materials in the prior art, and recovered TPO particles can be used as a 
toughening agent of modified PP or soft products with low 
flexural modulus requirements, such as automobile wheel covers and fenders.
