Post-industrial plastic recycling: turning waste into profit
ONE and DUO transform post-industrial plastic into high-quality raw material with minimal filtration, improving sustainability and turning waste into profit.
Post-industrial plastic waste, generated during manufacturing, has a homogeneous composition and low contamination, making it ideal for direct recycling with minimal filtration – often below 150 microns.
ONE and DUO efficiently regenerate post-industrial plastic waste into high-quality raw material, helping manufacturers increase sustainability and turn waste into profit.
Here are some types of plastic waste they can process:
Offcuts and trimmings
Excess material removed during cutting, shaping, or machining often remains clean and uniform. These scraps can be efficiently collected and reprocessed into raw material.
Defective products
Items rejected during quality control due to imperfections, structural issues, or measurement deviations cannot be sold. Instead of being discarded, they can be shredded and reused in manufacturing.
Material change residues
When switching colors or formulations, leftover plastic inside machines must be purged before production continues. This material can be recovered and reintegrated into new production cycles.
Non-conforming parts
Components that fail to meet required specifications due to design errors or manufacturing defects cannot be used in assembly. Recycling allows their material to be reclaimed and repurposed.
Start-up and shutdown waste
During production transitions, purged plastic is expelled to clear the system before normal operations resume. This waste is often recyclable and can be processed back into raw material.
Overproduction surplus
Stock that exceeds production demand may remain unused and take up storage space. Instead of disposal, it can be recycled and converted into new products.
