Common Disposal Processes

Plastic waste refers to discarded items made from various polymer types such as PP (food containers, toys), PE (bags, bottles), PVC (pipes, films), ABS (electronics, automotive parts). Common disposal methods include incineration, landfilling, recycling, and pyrolysis, with recycling being crucial for resource conservation, which can create long-term economic value for the users. For nearly all these treatment processes, efficient shredding and sorting are essential preliminary steps to improve material purity and downstream processing efficiency.

Common Disposal Process

Our common plastic waste disposal process often involves a mechanical recycling line with customizable configurations. In a typical setup, a belt conveyor feeds waste plastics into a double shaft shredder for primary shredding. A magnetic separator removes ferrous metals from the fragmented material before it proceeds to a single shaft fine shredder for further size reduction. Finally, the processed plastic can be compacted for producing alternative fuel, by using equipment such as a hydraulic baler or an RDF pellet mill.
