CHENGSUDA:Recycled Plastic Pellets: The Perfect Synergy of Environmental and Economic Benefits‌

Column:Tech Library‌ Time:2024-08-20
Recycled plastic pellets, a subset of plastic materials, are produced by reprocessing used or discarded plastics through extrusion and pelletization. Graded based on raw material quality and processing characteristics, they are categorized into three levels.
The production involves collecting waste plastics, reprocessing them, and pelletizing them. The grading system (Grade 1–3) reflects their diverse applications, making them valuable across multiple industries.

Introduction to Recycled Plastic Pellets‌

Recycled plastic pellets, a subset of plastic materials, are produced by reprocessing used or discarded plastics through extrusion and pelletization. Graded based on raw material quality and processing characteristics, they are categorized into three levels:

  • Grade 1 & 2‌: Suitable for blow molding, film extrusion, and fiber spinning.

  • Grade 3‌: Primarily used for injection molding, widely applied in daily life.

This versatility not only enhances production efficiency but also contributes significantly to environmental sustainability, ensuring a broad market outlook.

Manufacturing Process of Recycled Plastic Pellets

The production involves collecting waste plastics, reprocessing them, and pelletizing them. The grading system (Grade 1–3) reflects their diverse applications, making them valuable across multiple industries.

Applications and Environmental Contributions

Recycled plastic pellets are extensively used in blow molding, film extrusion, and other processes. Their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly properties provide convenience to various industries while supporting environmental initiatives.

After processing, these pellets exhibit excellent mechanical properties, meeting diverse technical requirements such as blow molding, fiber spinning, pipe extrusion, injection molding, and profile extrusion. This not only addresses pollution but also creates new profit opportunities for small and medium investors.

Market Prospects and Economic Benefits

Economic Benefits

From both environmental and cost perspectives, the waste plastic recycling industry offers immense potential. Recycled plastic pellets, being significantly cheaper than virgin plastics, can dominate the market.

For example:

  • ‌Price Comparison‌:

  • Virgin LDPE: ~7,000 CNY/ton

  • Recycled LDPE pellets: ~3,800 CNY/ton

  • Cost Savings‌: 3,200 CNY/ton

A medium-sized agricultural film manufacturer using 1,000 tons/year of LDPE could save ‌1.6 million CNY annually‌ by replacing 50% of virgin material with recycled pellets.

Wide Market Applications

Recycled pellets are compatible with various plastic processing techniques, effectively reducing pollution while generating profits. Their high demand in the plastic industry underscores their competitive edge and indispensable role in the future.
