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
