In the context of today’s growing environmental awareness, Post-Consumer Recyclable plastics (PCR) are gaining attention. PCR plastics are plastic wastes generated by consumers after use, and these materials can be reused to produce new plastic products after collection, treatment, and reprocessing.

Post-Consumer Plastic Waste

Features of Post-Consumer Recyclable Plastics

1, Environmentally friendly: Recycling PCR plastics can reduce the production of new plastics, thus reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution. By recycling, we can reduce the ecological impact of plastic waste.

2, Recycling: PCR plastics can be converted into high-quality recycled materials after specialized recycling processes to meet the production needs of various products. These recycled materials can be used to manufacture packaging, daily necessities, etc., promoting the development of a circular economy.

3, Market Demand: The market demand for PCR plastics is on the rise as consumer preference for sustainable products increases. More and more brands and companies are adopting PCR plastics to enhance the eco-friendly image of their products.

How To Achieve PCR Plastic Recycling?

To effectively achieve the recycling of post-consumer recyclable plastics, firstly, it is necessary to establish a perfect recycling system, including the collection, classification, and transportation of waste plastics.

Secondly, enterprises need to introduce advanced recycling technologies and equipment, such as plastic granulation lines, to convert waste plastics into recycled pellets. Through these measures, enterprises can not only improve the utilization of resources but also promote their sustainable development.

How To Make Recycled Plastic Pellets?

The process of making recycled plastic granules consists of the following steps:

• Thầm yêu: Firstly, the post-consumer recyclable plastics are crushed to reduce their size for subsequent processing.
• Rửa: The crushed plastic needs to be cleaned to remove adhering dirt, labels, and other impurities to ensure the purity of the recycled pellets.
• Drying: The cleaned plastic contains a certain amount of moisture and needs to be dried to reduce its moisture content and ensure the smoothness of the subsequent granulation process.
• Pelletizing: Finally, the dried plastic is fed into the pelletizing machine, where it is melted and extruded at high temperatures to form long continuous plastic strips.
• Cooling and cutting: Crushed long strips are cooled and cut into uniform plastic pellets.
