If managed properly, single-use PET bottles have a high commodities value. The secret to maximizing their capacity for recycling is to compact and reduce the volume.
Effective recycling and sustainability practices depend on reducing the amount of air in PET bottles. Removing the air from inside the bottles is one of the main obstacles to doing this, which calls for powerful compacting equipment that can firmly pierce the bottles and guarantee that they are tightly crushed.
A typical PET bottle is composed of three different types of plastic: PET for the plastic bottle itself, LDPE for the soft label, and HDPE for the hard bottle top.
All three types of plastic are recyclable, and compacting the bottles makes it possible to recycle all three types of plastic.
For the material to be suitable for recycling, the bottles must be compacted.
Air is removed during the compaction process, and the memory of the plastic that was molded is also lost. In addition to making the bottles smaller, this also makes it easier to store empty PET bottles because they take up less room.
Hundreds of bottles can be baled and transported for processing and recycling after being compressed and stored within a baler.
By managing waste more effectively, your company may save time, space, and money.
