“Start a Recycling Business”

Dear Friends, Recycling is profitable only when done end to end. Getting Plastic waste regularly is the biggest challenge. Once you are able to source that you will need to segregate them into LDPE, HDPE, HMHDPE, PP, PVC etc. Each material needs to be processed separately. They need to be shredded washed and dried. Then they are put in an extruder and strand cut to granules. Based on the impurity level suitable colours can be added.

Once each product is obtained it is to be ensured they dont mix. Then you can make may types of products can be made by putting them in Injection moudling  machines with suitable dies or moulds. Buckets, mugs, soap boxes, combs, fridge stands, chairs, clamps, pots, etc are some of the many products that can be made this way. for approx .100 kg/hr of plastic recycling you need to have an extruder which is 100 mm dia with AC variable drive with 10 strand die and cutter, washing line, grinders, drying trays and colour mixer. Injection moulding 400 -600 Tons machines with multicavity dies suited for the product being manufactured.

@vasuki, Dear sir, Kindly note i am writing about Plastics recycling. 

1st step: Locate sources of waste.Preferably segregated waste (  type of plastic ,colour)  even at the cost of Rs10.
2nd step : Setup grinder , wash line , dryer , strand extruder , cutter , drier .
3rd step : locate customers who can use the recycled plastic . mostly injection moulded parts, blow moulded parts,extrusion products like pipes, tarpaulin , buckets, pots, etc.

You can sell the plastic at least at 40-60 Rs based on impurity level.The virgin plastics are around 100 Rs. There are machinery suppliers in India. Best of luck

@sanjeev saini, Please check up points 317 & 323. HOPE YOU FIND THEM USEFUL. RGDS
