Our Processes

Collection and Distribution

We offer reliable collection services for post-consumer plastics from homes, businesses, and institutions. Whether through local government partnerships or private arrangements, we ensure that plastic waste is gathered efficiently and brought to our facilities for recycling.

Sorting and Categorization

Our state-of-the-art recycling plant is equipped with advanced machinery that sorts plastics by type, color, thickness, and use. This step is crucial for maintaining the purity and quality of the recycled materials, making our processes more efficient and our end products more reliable.

Washing

Cleanliness is key in the recycling process. We wash all collected plastics to remove impurities such as labels, adhesives, dirt, and food residue. This ensures that the plastics are in the best possible condition for further processing.

Shredding

Once cleaned, the plastics are shredded into small pieces. These pieces are easier to handle and can be used in various applications or further processed into new products. Shredding is a vital step in transforming plastic waste into reusable raw materials.

Identification and Separation

We perform rigorous tests to classify and separate the plastic pieces based on density and thickness. Using methods like water flotation and air classification, we ensure that each type of plastic is correctly identified and sorted for optimal recycling.

Extracting and Compounding

In the final stage, we melt and crush the shredded plastic to form pellets. These pellets serve as raw materials for manufacturing new products. Depending on the type and quality of plastic, some materials may be sent to specialized facilities for further processing to ensure the highest standards of quality and usability.
