After collection, plastic scrap is sorted by type (such as PP, PE) to separate different plastics.

Color sorting is also done to maintain consistency in the final product.

Manual and automated methods like conveyor belts and optical sorters help improve accuracy.

The sorted scrap is then thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, oils, labels, and other impurities.

Washing involves water, detergents, and sometimes special cleaning agents, followed by rinsing and drying.

Cleaning ensures better melting and molding quality by eliminating contaminants.

Proper sorting and cleaning preserve the plastic’s quality and help produce strong, durable recycled products.

This step maximizes usable material and reduces defects in finished goods.
