Turn your waste into opportunity

Plastics

Plastic shredders

From blighting the world’s oceans, to their single-use unacceptability, plastics have become one of – if not the – most talked about ‘wastes’ on the planet. With product manufacturers being tasked with helping to address the issue, we should now finally see the much-needed step-change that is required to promote greater reuse and recycling of plastics. But where does shredding fit in?

Speak to us about shredding plastic

In today's society, plastic waste is one of the most prominent environmental challenges facing our world today- despite UK regulations, there is 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste generated each year. Not only is plastic recycling an environmentally responsible choice, but shredding plastic can also create commercial opportunities by transforming waste into a valuable resource and supporting the increasing demand for sustainable products.

Our plastic shredding range

Due to its versatility in use, plastic is primarily utilised in industrial mass production. The generated plastic waste can be recycled through shredding, washing and subsequent generation of granulate to produce a recyclable material- the UNTHA plastic shredders have been developed specifically for this treatment process.

Why shred plastic and how can we help

Significant effort is required throughout the supply chain, to tackle the scale of this global waste crisis – 85% of beach litter worldwide is currently made up of plastics!

As of March 2019, UK Parliament adopted ambitious measures to tackle single use plastics – 77% of plastic bottles must be collected and recycled by 2025 for example, rising to 90% by 2029. The EU wants 55% of all plastic to be recycled by 2030.

Shredding has a varied role to play, from achieving waste volume reduction, through to material regranulation for recycling and even alternative fuel production.
