Plastic Recycling – Its Easy And Simple

Its Easy And Simple

Plastics not regarded often as mother earths
best friends, they are mostly hard to degrade and
occupy a lot of space in the landfills. Recycling
plastic is one of the most important and easy
ways to curb the abuse of plastic and spout bags.
3
With legal intervention and awareness among
people, usage of plastic has decremented. More
retailers and users are trying to recycle
plastics and encourage users to do the same
through incentives. Good manufacturers are also
making the plastic recycling process simpler.
They ensure that the recycling is done quickly
and waste is reused in the process and value
chain.
4
The 5 important stages of recycling plastics are
Plastic Identification
Washing The Impurities
Plastic Tearing
Re-identification of the plastic grades
Extruding

Plastic Identification
It is important to note that not every plastic
bag can be recycled. Ideally, manufacturers
provide engineers the guidance on the kind of
plastics that can be recycled. The engineer
inspects the elements within a plastic or spout
bags. They see the feasibility of possible
recycling and decide to move ahead or skip.
Indentifying right plastic is a key to success.

Washing the impurities
After the experts at the manufacturing unit
identify the right plastic, it is separated and
taken into the next level, where it is cleaned.
The cleaning process is tough. Initially, the
labels on plastic products or bags are removed,
followed by removing the other impurities and
adhesives. Its only after the impurities are
removed, the good quality recycling can start.
Until and unless these impurities are removed the
quality of recycled plastic wouldnt improve.

Plastic Tearing
Its time to separate and tear the plastic in the
third stage. The waste plastic is loaded onto the
conveyor belt which is rolling into the rotating
metal having sharp teeth. These metal tear apart
the plastic waste into the small pieces, bagged
up and then passed on for the next process for a
stringent quality check.
8
Re-identification of the plastic grades
These badly shredded plastic pieces of once
laminated or spout bags are then passed through
various chemical tests. These pieces are then
reassembled and labeled differently as per the
quality of plastics and the grade which they come
from. These different grades are classified and
blended with other virgin plastics and taken to
the next level of recycling.
9
The process ends when the clean plastic pierces
are melted and extruded into the form of pellets.
These pallets are then sent to the manufacturing
unit, where they are manufactured with the next
lot of plastics. This lot is then ready to move
out and again get converted to daily plastic
usable.
Extruding
Summing it all up, recycling plastic is
beneficial in many ways like lesser pollution,
better generation, limited extraction of
resources and increased use of the same
materials. The plastic bags or spout bags that
are reusable or biodegradable in nature also help
retailers in incurring less cost and at the same
time benefit the manufacturer with less
production cost. With so much of ease, using
plastic bags that are reusable is a must vouch.
