To address this need, Genius Machinery offers an advanced solution - plastic recycling machine.

Genius Machinery acknowledges the diverse type of rigid plastic waste and takes into account variations in size and contamination levels. The Rigid Waste Plastic Recycling Machine comes with a variety of components to meet different requirements. The recycling process is highly flexible and can be customized to effectively handle different types of rigid plastic waste.


What is Rigid Plastic Recycling?

Rigid plastic recycling is the process of collecting, sorting, cleaning, and reprocessing hard plastic materials such as HDPE, PP, ABS, and PS. Recycling systems for rigid plastics are designed to break down thick, durable plastic products into reusable flakes or pellets for manufacturing new items.


What are Rigid Plastics?

Rigid plastics are durable materials that maintain shape and resist deformation. Commonly used in high-durability products like containers, automotive parts, and construction materials, rigid plastics include HDPE, PET, and PVC.


What Problems Does Rigid Plastic Recycling Solve?

  • Reduces environmental impact by diverting bulky plastic waste from landfills
  • Helps manufacturers lower raw material costs by reusing recycled plastics
  • Improves waste management efficiency for industries producing rigid plastic waste
  • Supports businesses in achieving sustainability and recycling goals

Types of Rigid Plastics

  1. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
    • Use: Common in beverage bottles.
    • Recyclability: PET is highly recyclable and can be repurposed for various applications, making it a sustainable choice.
  2. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
    • Use: Found in packaging products like detergent containers and milk bags.
    • Recyclability: HDPE is one of the easiest and most commonly recycled plastics.
  3. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
    • Use: Typically used in pipes, windows, and flooring.
    • Recyclability: PVC can be recycled, but its process is more complex due to the additives used in its production.
