What Is Post-Consumer Plastic Waste?
Plastic products exist in our everyday lives, from plastic bottles and containers to plastic film and bags. After use, all these items become post-consumer plastic waste.
Plastic products bring great convenience to our lives, but improper disposal of post-consumer plastic waste harms the environment because plastic is not biodegradable. Therefore, recycling plastic waste is very necessary.
A post-consumer plastic waste granulator is an essential machine during the recycling process.
The Recycling Steps of Post-Consumer Plastic Waste
Collection and Sorting
There are specialized materials recovery facilities (MRFs) that collect and sort post-consumer plastic waste from other waste streams and further sort based on different plastic raw material types.
MRFs then use balers to compress the sorted post-consumer plastic waste into bales and sell them to specialized plastic recycling companies.
Size Reduction
Plastic recycling companies first use shredders for primary size reduction and then use post-consumer plastic waste granulators for further size reduction.
Washing
Second, they clean the granulated pieces using hot washers, friction washers, and floating washers depending on waste types.
Drying
Third, they dry the cleaned plastic pieces with dewatering machines and dryers.
Pelletizing
Finally, the cleaned and dried plastic pieces are melted and produced into granules that serve as raw material for making new plastic products.
