Image
  Since the Invention of Polymer Plastic as a new form of material is invented in 1907 in the U.S. The features of plastic are apparent: flexible, easy to dispose of, cheap to manufacture, and stable chemical property. Soon, plastics supplanted paper, porcelain, metal in different areas in 1930. Disposal plastic products such as cups, tableclothes and containers were popular in the Western market. Plastic Usage by Years As shown in the graph, the plastic use starts from small. Nevertheless, it grows rapidly in 1990. Taking only 15 years, the plastic production  doubled .  Except there is a small decline in 1975 and a sudden drop in 2010, overall, the production rate is increasing faster than ever. How much plastic is produced each year? The number exceed 300 million tons in 2010 and hits 400 million tons in 2015. Equivalently,  the plastic usage per capita is almost 1 tonne. The plastic waste production per capita by countries ranking from the biggest are Kuwait, Guyana, Germany, Nethe

  WEEE Background Electronic devices are an intangible item in humans’ life. All of us use it and non-exaggeratedly speaking, we depend on them for work and life. However, the more we use it, the more waste it creates after its service life. WEEE (electric and electronic waste) provides recyclers different initiatives for recycling. It includes toxic compounds, such as lead, mercury or specific flame retardants. Also, it includes precious metals such as aluminum, copper, iron, silver and gold. In 2013, approx. 64,000.000 ton digital goods were disposed and 50,000.000 ton electric and electronic waste has been discarded. Examples of WEEE in Specific? WEEE is a vast category of waste. Here are some typical items: Heat exchanger, condenser, evaporator Monitors, display screen and TV Lighting, light bulb, LED Small office and home appliance Big office and home appliance (greater than 50cm) Industrial machines Telecommunications devices and electronic gadgets like iPad USB, hard disk, bank

  Plastic crusher   is mainly applicable for breaking down solid plastic so that the waste plastic can be easily and efficiently recycled without any inconveniences or unwanted hazards. Waste plastic materials include purgings, sprue, gates, reject. Other than used for  secondary size reduction , they’re also utilized to crush and clean material if add a water sprinkler system. In this article, we show you how to choose plastic crushers. 1. How to Feed There 3 ways of feed a crusher by hands, by conveyor and by forklift. The latter 2 options concern machines so they can transport heavy materials in a bulk. Still, take special care of no metal can mix with the infeed materials. Manual feed is direct and simple. With manual inspection, infeed materials usually can be sorted out metals. However, unlike machines, humans cannot lift heavy objects. 2. What are your materials? Usually, a crusher cannot process metal-inclusive materials. Pure plastic and wood are ideal materials for plastic cr

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

  Pollution in the environment is a big problem that garbs the interest and attention of each individual in the world. It demands strong powerful action that really must be managed immediately and constantly. This can be done by integrating the government’s regulations and worldwide actions. If done right, not only we can reduce the waste, but also create profits from it. Recycling  is one of the feasible solutions for the situation of managing and disposing of waste. A few individuals are having awareness of re-using things. They are advised to gather their waste in separate bins for every single category such as for instance degradable and non-degradable. However, it becomes a problem for bulky objects like end-of-life home appliances and furniture. In this article, we focus on WEEE (waste electronic and electrical equipment) management. Why Whitegoods Shredder is Important There are plenty of electric appliances that are increasingly being used in households and in commercial places

What is Metal Recycling? The Best Intro in 2020

Image
  Metal is a valuable and prevalent commodity, but it is often very heavy and bulky, especially scrap metals. Scrap metals can be recycled many times without changing their properties. Steel and aluminum are the most recycled material on the planet, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI). The other commonly recycled metals are copper, silver, brass, and gold. In this article, we will explain what is metal recycling? and do we need it. Do We Need to Recycle Metals? Metals are valuable materials that can be re-forged and reused. Scrap metal has values, which attract people to collect it for sale to recycling operations. Other than a monetary incentive, there is also an environmental need. Metals on earth are limited. The recycling of metals enables us to save natural resources while requiring less energy to process new metals from ores. The production process emits carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses. Conversely, the more we reuse, the less harmful wastes are creat

  Plastic shredder   usage is known as a powerful solution in order to turn scrap plastic products into an invaluable resource. It doesn’t matter about the colour, shape and size of the plastic. The usage of a high-quality shredder bears the capacity to produce plastic regrind(about 40mm by 40mm size), which can be easily processed by a plastic crusher to reach a size of 10mm by 10mm. As may not know by many recyclers, Plastic Shredders recycling is normally finished with an extensive array of devices, which have the ability to shred a big amount of plastics into a smaller one. Recycling various kinds of plastic might not be the easiest task, because materials may contain harmful chemicals, additives and fillers as well as contaminants like metal, soil, dust and grease. Hence, during the recycling process, it is important to take care of the above risks. Features of the Plastic Shredders for sale: • Can easily work with equipment like vibration and screen classifiers, metal separator,

How to Separate Different Metals Using Metal Separator

Image
  Sustainability is one of the most discussed topics in the corporate arena right now. Metal can be recycled and reused many times, yet the recycling business needs more companies to separate different metals and reuse them. To take one tiny step forward towards keeping nature clean, you must incorporate metal recycling machinery, whether it’s your household or your business. Metal separator  and  eddy current separator  are 2 waste sorting machines. In the former, metal like irons are removed, leaving non-ferrous metals. In the second latter machine, non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper are passed on the rotor which consists of magnetic field that generates eddy current reaction to the aluminum and copper. The eddy current separator removes aluminum and copper based on the electromagnetic force created. Combining these two machines, we are able to separate aluminum cans, copper wires, PCBs, and appliances from the other materials in the stream of waste materials. How to Separat

An Introduction of Friction Washing Machine

Image
  In the recycling business, washing is an imperative step to increase the value of the desired materials. Sink-float tank and friction washing machines are the common means to achieve this goal. What is Friction Washer Machine? Friction Washer Machine  is used to remove dirt and contaminant from plastic flakes and film. Working Principle or How it works? The main components are the large rotor with several arrays of paddles, dewatering screen and cleaning manifold for water injection. The Friction Washer is accumulated on an inclined frame. The basic principle of operation is: the material enters at the lower end of the Friction Washer with vertical in-feed. The fast-rotating shaft and paddles transport up and hit the materials against the screen, just like how a laundry machine works. Dirt and grease are then driven out of the system, and sprayed away by water nozzles. The dirty water and contaminant then discharge at the bottom of the machine. The cleaned materials leave at the top.
