Types of Plastic Waste
At Alfa Therm Limited, we categorize plastic waste based on Size and Form into three types for efficient processing:
- Lumps: Solid, bulky pieces of plastic waste.
- Medium-Sized Plastic: Items like plastic bottles, household containers, etc.
- Large-Sized Plastic: Bigger plastic components, industrial containers, and waste bins.
Importance of Plastic Waste Management
At Alfa Therm Limited, we categorize plastic waste into three types for efficient processing:
- Lumps: Solid, bulky pieces of plastic waste.
- Medium-Sized Plastic: Items like plastic bottles, household containers, etc.
- Large-Sized Plastic: Bigger plastic components, industrial containers, and waste bins.
- Environmental Protection: Prevents plastic from polluting land and water bodies.
- Resource Conservation: Saves resources by recycling and reducing dependence on virgin plastics.
Key Components of Plastic Waste Management
Waste Collection and Transportation
Gathering plastic waste from homes, industries, and businesses.
Sorting and Segregation
Separating plastics by type like PET, HDPE, PVC for efficient and uncontaminated recycling.
Recycling
Shredding and processing used plastics into new products, conserving energy and resources.
Energy Recovery
Using non-recyclable plastics for energy generation through waste-to-energy technologies.
Landfilling
A last resort, where non-recyclable plastics are stored, though they pose long-term environmental risks.
Our Solutions to Manage Plastic Waste
At Alfa Therm Limited, we provide specialized shredding systems based on the size and form of plastic waste:
Single Shaft Shredders
Efficiently processes plastic lumps and solid blocks by reducing them into manageable sizes for further recycling or granulation.
Twin Shaft Shredders
Engineered to handle medium and large-sized plastic waste, including bottles, containers, industrial bins, and bulky packaging materials.
Torrefaction
Torrefaction is a technology that converts combustible fractions of waste into high-energy solid fuel through pre-processing and thermal reactions.
Benefits of Effective Plastic Waste Management
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Prevents ocean and landfill pollution and lowers carbon emissions.
- Resource Efficiency: Minimizes the need for new plastic by recycling existing materials.
- Public Health Benefits: Reduces contamination and prevents disease caused by plastic pollution.
- Economic Value: Supports recycling industries, cuts disposal costs, and fosters a sustainable economy.
- How to Reduce Plastic Waste: Adopt practices like reducing plastic use, reusing plastic items, and recycling. Support infrastructure for recycling and invest in technology like shredders to manage plastic waste efficiently.
