About Recycling of Waste Plastics

Distribution and sources of waste plastics

As long as there are people, there will be plastic waste. All kinds of plastic packaging, shopping bags, agricultural film, woven bags, beverage bottles, plastic pots, plastic pots, plastic buckets, toys, stationery, plastic shoes, vehicle bumpers, household appliance shells, computer shells, waste polychlorinated tubes, industrial waste plastic products, plastic doors and windows, polyester products (polyester film, mineral water bottles, Coke bottles, etc.) and plastic molding and processing of waste, etc., can be seen everywhere, endless, and never dry up!

Since the 1950s, China began to establish a unique recycling system of waste materials. At present, the country has more than 5,000 various types of waste materials recycling enterprises, recycling outlets 160,000, almost every township, towns and large, medium and small cities, where there are a large number of categories of all types of waste plastics, suitable for bulk purchase. Correspondingly, China is active in all parts of an extremely spectacular number of waste materials purchasing army, fixed-point acquisition of waste plastics in their hands, can correspondingly reduce the purchase cost of raw materials. According to reports, Changchun city produces 1.32 million tons of garbage each year, about 9% for the waste plastic. This alone, Changchun is buried every year worth up to more than 10 million dollars of wealth.

The scraps produced by plastic product factories during production and processing, which do not need to be categorized and cleaned, are good raw materials for processing recycled pellets. With the plastic factory to establish business contacts, the acquisition of the scraps processed into particles after the return to the plastic factory, or charge a certain processing fee. In this way, that is, for the plastic factory to solve the recycling problem, but also an effective way for us to generate income, is a win-win program.

China's northeastern, northwestern, northern China and other areas of rural areas in large quantities of film, is a one-time use of agricultural materials, the number of huge, inexpensive. The vast majority of rural personnel, if the organization of personnel in the local collection or purchase, can be a timely solution to the problem of pollution of the soil film, but also exempt from the intermediate links, in order to ensure that the source of raw materials at the same time, but also significantly reduce the cost of raw materials, increase profits.

In summary, the price is low, easy to get everywhere waste plastic, for us to start the waste plastic recycling granule factory provides a unique conditions. The realization of the local acquisition, processing and sales of waste plastics, the timing is right, the advantages are significant and lucrative.

Three, the application of recycled plastic pellets

Waste plastic processed into particles, still has a good comprehensive material properties, can meet the blown film, wire drawing, pulling the tube, injection molding, extrusion profiles and other technical requirements, a large number of applications in the production of plastic products.

In daily life, the recycled pellets can be used to manufacture a variety of plastic bags, buckets, tubs, toys, furniture, stationery and other household utensils and a variety of plastic products. In the garment industry, it can be used to manufacture garments, ties, buttons and zippers.

In agriculture, it can be used to make agricultural film, pumping pipe, agricultural equipment, fertilizer bags, cement bags. In the machinery industry, the regenerated particles can be used to manufacture machine parts, various forms of bearings, gears, cams, wheels, sealing rings, a variety of blades, a variety of pump impellers after a special formula. In the chemical industry, it can be used to should be used as reactors, pipelines, containers, pumps, valves, etc., applied to solve the corrosive wear and tear of the chemical production sites. In addition, the recycled particles are also used in large quantities in the electrical industry and telecommunications industry.
