What is Plastic Recycling and How to Recycle Plastic?
In a world grappling with plastic pollution, plastic recycling emerges as a paramount solution for environmental sustainability. As a leading supplier of plastic recycling machinery, sourced from premier Indian manufacturers, INVENT GROUP plays a pivotal role in addressing this global challenge.
Polypropylene (PP) flat tapes, ubiquitous in packaging and agriculture, pose significant environmental concerns when disposed of improperly. INVENT GROUP offers cutting-edge recycling equipment tailored to efficiently process PP tapes. Post-recycling, these materials find new life in various applications, reducing waste and conserving valuable resources.
Overview of Plastic Recycling Process
Collection: Used plastic items are collected from various sources, such as households, businesses, and industries.
Sorting: The collected plastic is sorted based on its type and composition. This step is crucial because different types of plastic require different recycling processes.
Cleaning: Once sorted, the plastic undergoes a cleaning process to remove any contaminants like dirt, labels, or residues. This helps ensure the quality of the recycled material.
Shredding: The cleaned plastic is then mechanically shredded into small pieces or flakes. This increases the surface area and facilitates the melting process.
Melting: The shredded plastic is melted down to form molten plastic, which can be shaped into new products. This step is crucial in breaking down the polymer chains and removing any remaining impurities.
Remolding: The melted plastic is then shaped into pellets, which can be used as raw material for the manufacturing of new plastic products. These pellets can be used to create a wide range of items, such as containers, bottles, packaging materials, and more.
Plastic Recycling Machine
It seems like there might be a typo in your question. If you meant “plastic machine,” it’s a bit broad. There are various machines and processes involved in the production, processing, and recycling of plastics. Here are a few types of machines commonly associated with plastics such as, Injection Molding Machine, Extrusion Machine, Blow Molding Machine, Plastic Recycling Machinery, Plastic Shredder, Plastic Pelletizing Machine, Plastic Extruder
The specific function of a plastic machine depends on its type and the desired outcome in the production or recycling process
How are plastics recycled?
Mechanical recycling is the most common approach used for recycling plastics like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). PET and HDPE are typically used to make soft drinks bottles or containers, and are relatively easy to recycle
Mechanical recycling refers to the processing of plastics waste into secondary raw material or products without significantly changing the material’s chemical structure. In principle, all types of thermoplastics can be mechanically recycled with little or no impact on quality. Mechanical recycling is the most widespread form of recycling and represents the majority of activity in Europe
