Plastics Recycling

Plastics Recycling Expertise at Reciclomad

Reciclomad is a leader in sorting and processing various domestic packaging plastics, including:

  • PET water and soft-drink bottles
  • HDPE milk bottles
  • HDPE detergent bottles
  • LDPE film (bags, shrink wrap, etc.)
  • PP pots, tubs, and containers (e.g., butter and ice cream tubs)

Materials We Recycle:

  • LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene)
  • HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)
  • PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
  • PS (Polystyrene)
  • PP (Polypropylene)

Mixed Bottle Plastic Recycling:

Our Plastic Recovery Facility (PRF) has the capacity to process 88,000 tonnes per year of mixed plastic bottles and pots, tubs, and trays (PTT). Advanced technologies, including Infrared and color-sorting, automatically sort materials, ensuring high-quality recyclates for further processing.

Plastics Wash and Recycling:

Household rigid and packaging plastics, including HDPE bottles, PP pots, tubs, trays, and PE/PP rigids, undergo processing to produce granules and flakes. The annual capacity of this plant is 25,000 tons, contributing to a circular economy by supplying HDPE Recycled granules and PP Recycled granules to EU manufacturing.

Film Sorting and Recycling:

The film sorting facility processes 55,000 tonnes per annum of mixed LDPE commercial and household packaging film waste. NIR optical sorting technology segregates material, with contaminants sorted and baled by polymer type and color. This sorted material is then granulated, washed, and transformed into LDPE Recycled granules.

WEEE Plastic Recycling:

We specialize in recycling plastics derived from WEEE, including plastics from small domestic appliances, TVs, computers, satellite boxes, telecoms equipment, and fridges. ABS, PS, PP, and PE recycled flakes and polymers are produced for electronic manufacturing, contributing to the circular economy.

Single Stream Rigid Plastics Recycling:

Reciclomad shreds and granulates large-format single-stream rigid plastic products, producing high-quality plastic regrinds from items like wheelie bins, plastic crates, plastic buckets, plastic pallets, and pallet boxes.

Other Plastic Recycling:

We collect and segregate various types of plastic waste, including plastic shrink-wrap, tote bags, containers, drums, crates, food trays, tape, rope, banding, netting, wheelie bins, and more, processing them into high-grade raw materials for plastic polymers. Engineering polymer grades such as PMMA, PC, PA, POM, PBT, and other polymer grades are also handled.
