How to recycle used milk cartons

Background Introduction

Milk cartons are usually made of composite materials such as paper, plastic, and aluminum foil, all of which have high recycling value. By recycling used milk cartons, these materials can be reused, thereby saving raw material resources and reducing the demand for new resources.

Recovery value

Waste milk cartons have significant value in resource reuse. The paper part can be converted into pulp for papermaking, the plastic part can be made into plastic pellets for manufacturing new plastic products, and the aluminum foil part can be used to manufacture aluminum foil products or other metal products. This recycling process not only saves raw materials, reduces energy consumption and pollutant emissions, but also promotes the recycling of resources.

Technological process

Crushing: Crush the collected waste milk cartons into smaller pieces for subsequent processing.

Cleaning: Clean the broken milk carton fragments to remove surface dirt, residue, etc., ensuring smooth separation process.

Separation:

Paper plastic separation: Using paper plastic separation mechanical equipment to separate the paper and plastic parts in the milk carton.

Aluminum plastic separation: For milk cartons containing aluminum foil, it is necessary to further separate the aluminum foil from the plastic.

Reprocessing:

Pulp processing: Processing the separated paper parts into pulp, which can be used to produce new paper or paper products.

Plastic granulation: Melting and granulating the separated plastic parts to produce plastic pellets, which can be used to produce new plastic products.

Aluminum foil recycling: The separated aluminum foil is recycled and can be used to produce aluminum foil products or other metal products.

Advantages of Recycling Machinery

Recycling machinery integrates intelligent technology to achieve efficient recycling of waste materials: its automated control system supports remote monitoring and dynamic adjustment to ensure stable operation; The core electrostatic sorting technology accurately separates different materials and produces industrial grade raw materials that can be directly sold; The equipment adopts a fully enclosed design and is equipped with a multi-level environmental protection treatment system, achieving zero pollution emissions throughout the process while significantly reducing energy consumption and noise; Innovative separation technology can efficiently dissociate composite materials, suitable for various materials such as aluminum-plastic packaging and electronic waste, with daily processing capacity covering multiple scale requirements. This system not only significantly improves recycling efficiency and reduces native resource consumption, but also reduces maintenance costs through modular design, providing standardized solutions for the circular economy and helping achieve green manufacturing and carbon neutrality goals.
