Soft Plastic Recycling Machine: Transforming Flexible Waste into Reusable Pellets
What is a Soft Plastic Recycling Machine?
This system processes post-consumer soft plastics (bags, wraps, films) into clean pellets for reuse in new products, supporting circular economy initiatives.
Types of Soft Plastic Recyclers
- Washing & Granulation Lines
- Cleans contaminated films before pelletizing.
- Agglomerators
- Melts and densifies lightweight films into chips.
- Extrusion-Based Systems
- Filters impurities and extrudes uniform pellets.
Key Benefits
Waste Reduction – Diverts soft plastics from landfills. Cost Efficiency – Lowers raw material costs by 30-50%. Versatility – Handles LDPE, PP, and mixed films.
Applications
- Grocery Bag Recycling
- Agricultural Film Repurposing
- Packaging Waste Recovery
Operation Steps
- Sorting & Shredding – Remove contaminants and shred film.
- Washing – Eliminate dirt and adhesives.
- Drying – Reduce moisture to <1%.
- Pelletizing – Melt and extrude into reusable granules.
Sustainability Impact
- Closed-Loop Systems – Integrate with production lines for zero waste.
- FDA-Compliant Output – Food-grade rLDPE for new packaging.
