resin recycling

Resin recycling involves collecting used plastic containers and packaging made from specific plastics, then processing them to create new raw materials. The process typically includes cleaning, shredding into small pieces, and melting the resin to form pellets or flakes that can be used to manufacture new products. This reduces plastic waste, conserves resources, and minimizes environmental impact. Different types of plastics, identified by resin codes, are recycled separately to ensure quality. Overall, resin recycling helps create a circular economy for plastics, turning waste into valuable raw materials for a variety of applications.
