Plastic Recycling and Material Preparation Process

Plastic waste and new material can follow different preparation routes before they meet at mixing and continue to production. Follow the material flow to see where Hetian equipment fits.

Material flow

How Recovered and New Material Can Connect

Two material streams enter the map. Plastic waste can become recovered material through size reduction. New material may need drying or storage. Both streams can continue to mixing before material is transferred to production.

Material input

Plastic Waste

Start with the waste form you recognise. Rejected products, old plastic items, purge lumps, runners, sheet, and large rigid waste can require different recycling routes.

Recycling / Size Reduction
