Post-consumer plastic recycling: turning waste into value
Break Machinery filtering machines transform discarded post-consumer plastic into high-quality raw materials, turning waste into value.
Post-consumer plastic waste, originating from used products like packaging, bottles, and containers, often has a more varied composition than post-industrial waste. However, with filtering machines like ONE and DUO, it can be transformed into high-quality raw materials, minimizing waste and providing cost-effective solutions for manufacturers.
Used packaging waste
Plastic containers, bottles, and packaging materials collected after consumer use can be efficiently recycled into new products, helping reduce reliance on virgin plastic and minimizing waste in landfills.
End-of-life consumer goods
Plastics from worn-out or damaged consumer goods, such as electronics, furniture, and household items, are shredded and transformed into reusable materials, preventing valuable plastics from being discarded.
Curbside plastic waste
Plastic waste collected through curbside programs often contains a mix of materials from various household items. This waste can be sorted, cleaned, and processed into raw material for new manufacturing cycles.
Discarded consumer plastics
Items like old toys, broken kitchenware, or worn-out appliances that have no further use can be recycled, turning these discarded plastics into a valuable resource for new products.
Damaged or returned packaging
Packaging that is returned or damaged, often from retail or shipping, is often discarded. By recycling these materials, they can be repurposed for new production, reducing waste and promoting circularity.
