How to start a waste plastic business

Waste plastics can be recycled and reused. There are many people doing this business now. Let’s talk about how to start a waste plastic business. 01

Waste plastics are divided into many types, such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic building materials, plastic ropes, etc. Although they are all plastic, the methods of recycling and processing are different. Plastics are divided according to their chemical composition and are roughly divided into PE, PP, PVC, PET, EPS, PA, etc. 02

The more advanced plastics we are exposed to now are made of PE, PP, and PVC. These plastics are generally not recycled waste plastics. If we recycle waste plastic, it is usually used to make plastic pipes, plastic bags, plastic boxes and the like. 03

There are many ways to recycle waste plastics. Although we rarely use plastic bags now (mostly reusable bags are used instead), we can recycle various waste plastics at various garbage recycling stations. Generally, now Plastic bottles are the most abundant and the easiest to find. Plastic bottles can be broken by machines and turned into plastic particles.

Plastic particles are widely used and can be made into plastic pipes. Plastic pipes are divided into soft pipes and hard pipes. Soft pipes are mainly made of PVC, and hard pipes are mainly made of UPVC. These can be directly recycled and reused by using waste plastics and broken into molds. 05

Nowadays, domestic waste plastic recycling prices are very cheap, but after reuse, the selling price is quite high, and the profit is very high, especially the waste plastics recycled from domestic low-cost or zero-cost. If sold directly to foreign countries, such as Vietnam and other countries, the profit is also very high, and no factory equipment is required. 06

To run a waste plastic business, you only need a warehouse and a plastic crusher. If you don’t have a good recycling source for waste plastics, you can find a way to set up plastic recycling bins in the community so that people can put the waste plastics in their lives into the bins.
