For local plastic bottle recycling plants, the procedure of plastic bottle recycling involves collecting, sorting, delabeling, crushing, cleaning, as well as drying out.

Plastic bottle recycling overview

The primary step in the recycling procedure is collection. Recyclers end up with recyclable materials at their plants in many ways, ranging from citywide programs to private drop-offs and also commercial recycling contracts. Recycling plants usually contract with companies to properly dispose of their recyclables as well as waste. In many states, local councils have strict requirements for reducing landfill waste.

After collection, the mixed metals, wood strips, and various other waste are removed, after that the plastic bottles will be de-labeled at the facility with a label removal equipment, and then the plastic bottles are crushed and cleaned. At this stage, labels, adhesives as well as various other impurities are removed.

After that comes the crushing. The plastic is fed into a plastic bottle crusher. After crushing, the plastic bottles are mixed with PP PE's, which are the materials made use of for plastic bottle caps. Using a floating separation tank can efficiently separate them out relying on the density of the plastic. The remaining PET plastic pieces will be dried out.

The obtained PET flakes can be directly sold to plastic processing factories and used to make brand-new plastic products.
