Вђ“ Resource Efficiency With An Optimized Sorting Method — Recycling Plastics

Separates mixtures like PVC and PE based on electrical charges. 📈 Benefits of Resource Efficiency

Uses air streams to separate light films from heavy rigid plastics.

The "gold standard." Instantly identifies resin types by light reflection. Separates mixtures like PVC and PE based on

Recycling uses up to 80% less energy than virgin plastic.

Turn old bottles directly into new ones. Recycling uses up to 80% less energy than virgin plastic

Chips bags (plastic + foil) are difficult to sort mechanically.

♻️ Smart Plastic Recycling Guide Optimizing plastic sorting is the key to true resource efficiency. By moving beyond basic collection, we can transform "waste" into high-value raw materials. 🔍 Understanding Plastic Types use a multi-stage sorting approach:

Efficiency starts with accurate identification. Not all plastics are created equal. High value. Water bottles, food jars. HDPE (2): Highly recyclable. Milk jugs, shampoo bottles. PVC (3): Hard to recycle. Pipes, vinyl flooring. LDPE (4): Thin films. Grocery bags, bubble wrap. PP (5): Heat resistant. Yogurt cups, car parts. PS (6): Low value. Styrofoam, plastic cutlery. Other (7): Complex blends. Multilayer packaging. ⚙️ Optimized Sorting Methods To maximize efficiency, use a multi-stage sorting approach:
