[Case Study] For Recycling Product Plastics! M.M. Plastic Co., Ltd.

We will introduce a case where it became easier to identify mixed PVC, resulting in improved purity of PP and PE products!

We would like to introduce a case where sensors were implemented at M.M. Plastic Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the collection, sorting, and recycling of waste plastics such as container packaging plastics. The company started a business for the collection and reuse of product plastics, but there was no system in place to check the material of product plastics immediately after acceptance and after sorting by large sorting machines, raising concerns about quality assurance. With the introduction of sensors, it became easier to distinguish mixed PVC, and the purity of PP and PE products improved. They are now able to provide reliable products to customers. 【Previous Challenges】 ■ High chlorine concentration materials were mixed into recycled plastic pellets. ■ There was no system to check the material of product plastics immediately after acceptance and after sorting by large sorting machines, raising concerns about quality assurance. ■ There were concerns that the manual material identification skills could not be passed on due to the retirement of veteran staff. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
