Recyclers

Recyclers are transforming the sorted waste into usable raw materials. For example with plastics, they are breaking it down in smaller components, called flakes. This could involve mechanical recycling (shredding and washing) or chemical recycling (thermochemical decomposition). The output of recyclers is often referred to as ‘recycled plastics’ like flakes or in case of extrusion, granules are obtained rather than pellets.

The role of recyclers in the circular economy

Recyclers are indispensable in the recycling value chain, transforming sorted waste into usable raw materials. By breaking down materials like plastics into smaller components, recyclers enable the creation of high-quality secondary raw materials. This process not only conserves natural resources but also significantly reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills and incinerators.

Quality and compliance in recycling

Ensuring the quality and consistency of recycled materials is crucial for recyclers. Maintaining high standards in recycling processes enhances the value of the final products and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. Traceability and thorough documentation are essential to guarantee the quality and origin of recycled materials, promoting trust and transparency in the supply chain.
