THE RECYCLING PROCESS IN FIVE SIMPLE STEPS

Let's break down the recycling journey of plastic into 5 stages.

Collection -

plastic waste is gathered from homes, businesses, recycling bins, and collection centres.

Sorting -

The collected plastics are separated by type and colour using manual sorting, machines, or infrared scanners.

Cleaning -

Plastics are washed to remove dirt, labels, adhesives, and food residues to ensure the recycled material is pure.

Shredding & Pelletising -

Clean plastics are shredded into small flakes, then melted and formed into tiny pellets or granules, which serve as raw material.

Manufacturing New Products -

The plastic pellets are used to make new items such as packaging, textiles, furniture and clothing.
