Currently, the topic of how to deal with recycled plastic film is getting more and more attention. Plastic films can be found everywhere in our daily lives, from supermarket shopping bags, express packaging, to agricultural mulch. While they bring convenience to our lives, they are also a major source of “white pollution” because they are difficult to degrade.
Different Types of Plastic Films
Plastic film, as a film product processed from plastic raw materials, is rich and diverse, and can be divided into raw material, production process, functional use, and other dimensions.
From the material point of view, there are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and other common types, with different materials to give their temperature resistance, flexibility, barrier, and other differentiated performance.
In terms of functions and application scenarios, they cover a wide range of types such as packaging, agricultural, anti-static, degradation, etc., to meet the needs of different fields such as food preservation, agricultural cultivation, and electronic protection.
In addition, the structural differences between single-layer film and multi-layer composite film also present different advantages in terms of cost and comprehensive performance.
These various types of plastic film, by virtue of their respective characteristics, have widely penetrated industry, agriculture, daily life, and other scenarios, becoming an indispensable material in modern production and life.
Significance of Dealing With Recycled Plastic Film
- Alleviating White Pollution: Recycling plastic films prevents them from lingering in the natural environment, reducing harm to soil, water bodies, and ecosystems (e.g., animal ingestion and soil structure degradation).
- Conserving Natural Resources: Recycled plastics replace part of petroleum-based raw materials, reducing fossil resource consumption and easing dependency on non-renewable resources.
- Lowering Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions: Producing recycled plastics saves 30%-50% more energy than virgin plastics, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions to support carbon neutrality goals.
The significance of dealing with recycled plastic film, from mitigating white pollution to conserving resources and cutting carbon emissions, underscores the necessity of a robust recycling framework.
However, how to deal with recycled plastic film？
Plastic Film Recycling Machine Solution
Concerning how to deal with recycled plastic film, the plastic film pelletizing line is a viable solution for processing recycled film materials
The Shuliy plastic film recycling line offers a reliable solution for full-process processing, thanks to a systematic technical configuration.
चरण 1: प्लास्टिक क्रशिंग मशीन
Powerful shredder crushes twisted mulch, packaging film, etc., into uniform pieces
चरण 2: PE Film Washing Machine
Plastic film cleaning line removes dirt, oil, and other impurities
Step 3 Horizontal Dewatering Machine
After drying in the plastic dryer machine, the plastic waste enters the PE film plastic washing squeezer pellet machine through the feeding port.
Step 4: प्लास्टिक फिल्म पेलेटाइजिंग मशीन
After high-temperature heating and melting, the die head extrudes the paste into strips. Then it enters the शीतलन टैंक to cool down.
What Can Recycled Plastic Film be Used?
Plastic film can be recycled and processed into plastic pellets, which can be reused in numerous industries.
- Packaging industry: made into shopping bags, food packaging bags, courier bags, and other types of packaging film
- Construction and building materials industry: the production of drainage pipes, floor heating pipes, cable protection pipes
- Industrial manufacturing industry: the production of industrial trays, crates, and machinery parts
- Consumer goods industry: production of laptop shells, plastic toys, folders
