waste plastic recycling line

The waste plastic recycling production line is the core facility for realizing plastic recycling. It is mainly composed of sorting equipment, crushers, cleaning systems, granulators and molding machines. These equipment work together to convert waste plastics into reusable raw materials.

The recycling process begins with sorting, where plastics of different materials are classified by manual or automatic sorting systems. Subsequently, the crusher crushes the plastic into small pieces and removes impurities after cleaning. The clean fragments are fed into the melt extruder, reshaped into plastic particles at high temperature, and finally made into new products through the molding machine.

Plastic recycling has created significant economic benefits. The cost of recycled plastics is 30%-50% lower than that of virgin plastics, saving a lot of raw material expenses for the manufacturing industry. The recycling industry has also spawned new employment opportunities and formed a complete industrial chain from recycling to processing. According to statistics, the global plastic recycling market value has exceeded US$50 billion.

In terms of environmental protection, recycling 1 ton of plastic can reduce 3.8 barrels of oil consumption and reduce energy use by 80%. More importantly, it effectively alleviates the problem of “white pollution” and reduces soil and air pollution caused by plastic landfill and incineration. According to research, plastic recycling can reduce carbon emissions by about 1.1 tons/ton.

Plastic recycling production lines not only realize resource recycling, but also promote the transformation of traditional linear economy to circular economy. With technological progress, recycling efficiency and recycled product quality will be further improved in the future, injecting new impetus into sustainable development.
