The Plastics Pipe Industry Association reports that over 600 million pounds of post-consumer HDPE are recycled into new pipe every year in the United States.

PVC pipe scrap can become new PVC pipe. The technology to complete that closed loop exists, is proven in production environments around the world, and

Electronic waste is the fastest-growing solid waste stream in the world, generating more than 62 million tonnes annually. The shredders that handle it are some

A granulator produces particles. A pulverizer produces powder. Those are very different outputs that serve very different downstream processes, and the industries that need powder

A recycling operation that processes more than one material type faces a question that is more nuanced than it first appears: do you buy dedicated

Hollow plastic parts, whether they come from a rotational molding operation or a blow molding line, present size reduction challenges that solid runners and sprues

Thermoforming trim and blown film scrap look simple on the surface. They are lightweight, relatively clean, and mostly single-resin. What they do to granulators, shredders,

The textile recycling market is growing at 7.2 percent annually and is projected to reach $11.88 billion by 2030. The mechanical shredding of textile waste

Long, rigid pipe and heavy-wall profiles are some of the most awkward scrap in plastics processing. Trying to feed them into a standard granulator is

Some scrap is too bulky for a granulator to handle on its own, but does not justify a full industrial shredding line. A combination shredder
