PCR PE

Product Details

Recycled raw materials mainly come from the following categories: 

Waste plastic packaging materials 

Polethylene is widely used in the packaging industry, especially LDPE (low density polyethylene) and HDPE (high density polyethylene), which is usually used in the manufacture of plastic bags, films, containers, bottles, packaging boxes and so on. With the consumption and abadonment of consumer goods, discarded plastic packaging materials have become an important source of PCR PE. 

Examples of recycled sources: 

Plastic shopping bags: Clear plastic bags used in everyday shopping, especially in supermarkets and retail stores. 

Food packaging film: such as food bags, plastic wrap, film packaging, etc., especially flexible packaging used in the food industry. 

Bottles and containers: discarded PE plastic bottles and containers, widely used in cosmetics, cleaning agents, detergents and food packaging. 

Express packaging materials: such as plastic wrap film, foam packaging, etc., from express companies. 

Discard plastic bottles 

Polyethylene materials occupy a dominant position in the manufacture of PE bottles, especially in the packaging of daily chemicals, beverages, detergents, oils and other products. With the increase of plastic bottles discarded by consumers, these discarded PE bottles have become an important source of PCR PE. 

Examples of recycled sources: 

Beverage bottles: such as mineral water bottles, carbonated beverage bottles, juice bottles, etc., usually use HDPE. 

Detergent bottles: Bottles such as detergent, hand sanitizer, disinfectant, etc., common HDPE materials. 

Daily chemical bottles: plastic containers such as shampoo bottles, body wash bottles, cosmetics bottles, etc. 

Agricultural film and plastics for agricultural use 

In the agricultural field, PE materials are widely used in mulch films, greenhouse films, irrigation pipes, etc. Although these agricultural plastics play an important role in crop growth, they are easy to be polluted due to long-term exposure to sunlight and bad weather, so they become a source of recycling after waste. 

Examples of recycling sources: 

Agricultural mulch: Plastic film used to cover farmland for heat preservation, moisture, and grass control. 

Greenhouse film: Plastic film used in greenhouses or greenhouses, usually LDPE or LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene). 

Irrigation pipe: Plastic pipe in agricultural irrigation systems, usually using PE material. 

Scrap appliances and electronics 

Although the use of PE in home appliances and electronic products is relatively small, it still appears in the external and internal parts of some home appliances, especially in the packaging of some large equipment. Discarded electronics housings and equipment parts also provide a source of recycling for PCR PE. 

Examples of recycling sources: 

External packaging of electrical appliances: plastic film or plastic parts used in the housing of home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. 

Battery case: plastic case, plastic parts, etc., used in some small electronic devices, some of which may be made of PE material. 

Electronic accessories: such as chargers, earphones, plugs, etc., may be made of polyethylene. 

Discard consumer and household products 

Some plastic products are more common in the consumer market and become a source of PCR PE as they are scrapped or eliminated. The recycling of these products helps to provide a large amount of PCR PE raw material. 

Examples of recycling sources: 

Plastic furniture: such as plastic tables and chairs, storage shelves, etc., especially in applications on low-density polyethylene materials. 

Discarded children's toys: such as some large plastic toys, outdoor plastic equipment, etc. 

Household storage boxes: discarded storage boxes, plastic boxes and household containers, etc. 

Industrial waste and production scraps 

In the production process of PE, often produce waste or waste, these waste after fine recycling and treatment, can be effectively used into PCR PE raw materials. These wastes usually come from unused plastic scraps in the production process, scraps in the injection molding process, etc. 

Examples of recycling sources: 

‍

Injection molding scraps: In the injection molding process, due to excess plastic heads and waste, it can be converted into PCR PE after recycling treatment. 

Plastic production waste: The scraps and scrap produced during the production of PE films, containers or other plastic products. 

Recycling process 

Recycling processing of PCR PE usually involves the following steps: 

Collection and sorting: Discarded PE materials are first collected through a recycling system and initially sorted according to species and the environment in which they have been used. 

Cleaning and decontamination: Remove stains, adhesives and oils from the surface and interior of the material to ensure that the material is pure. 

Crushing and granulation: The waste materials are crushed and granulated to facilitate subsequent processing. 

Quality testing and screening: strict quality control is carried out on the recovered PCR PE material to test its strength, toughness, transparency and other properties. 

Reprocessing: The final PCR PE is processed into pellets or sheets for the manufacture of new products, which are widely used in packaging, agriculture, construction and other fields.
