Getting waste from the plastic manufacturing industry to process it for a agreed price into re-usable products like re-grinds and/or compounds. As in this case the source and the user of the recycled material are the same and the recycled material goes straight back into the production.
Buying waste from all kind of sources and selling it to 3rd parties. In this case the recycled materials usually are used for a lower grade product as the buyer often does not know the source and real material specification.
Common products to be processed in both fields are usually rejected parts, runners, lumps and purgings. The input materials can be very different in their physical properties as well as in their dimension and shapes. This makes it very important to choose the right machine for each application not just to match the required throughputs but also to be able to handle the parts given.
