Manufacturing certain products from recycled plastic pellets has become increasingly popular in recent years. This is largely thanks to advances in processing technology, which have helped improve the quality, colour, and texture of recycled plastic goods.
As professionals in the PVC compound industry in South Africa, IPC takes this opportunity to shed light on some of the top uses for recycled plastic granules supplier, the importance of recycled plastic, and when it may be best to use virgin-grade plastic pellets.
The Importance of Recycled Plastic
Recycled plastic pellets play an essential role in reducing the waste filling up landfills. By repurposing broken/discarded plastic products and turning them into recycled plastic products, we reduce the negative impact that plastic waste and production have on the environment.
Top Uses of Recycled Plastic Granules
SHAMPOO BOTTLES
Recycled high-density polyethylene is often used to manufacture a variety of plastic bottles for shampoo, conditioner, detergents, and other non-food products.
TRASH BAGS
Trash bags are used by households around the world on a daily basis so it only makes sense that they should be made out of recycled plastic, in an effort to reduce the amount of energy and resources used to make them.
BOARDWALKS/DECKING
One of the most innovative uses of recycled plastic is the making of boardwalks or decking. As recycled plastic is both water and can be made to be anti-fungal, it makes for the perfect material to make boardwalks out of.
When is it Best to Use Virgin Grade Plastic Pellets?
While recycled plastic granules have their advantages, certain products call for virgin-grade plastic pellets. Some of these products include shoes, window gaskets,food packaging and medical products, which require the manufacturer to know the true source of the plastic being used to eliminate the chance of any customer side effects or unsafe raw materials.
