Polyethylene (PELD and PEHD) and polypropylene (PP)
Once the waste is collected, it is transported away to be washed, shredded and agglomerated. Then it is ready to be transformed into a new product in our production plant.
Provided that the waste exists of HDPE, LDPE or PP or a mix of these materials, it does not need further sorting.
No, there’s no need to wash the waste beforehand. We take care of it! It’s part of the processing.
After the washing, shredding and agglomerating, the plastic granule arrives in our factory where it is melted and if necessary colored with UV resistant polyethylene masterbatch. The molten plastic is now a thick, liquid paste that is injected into moulds under high pressure. The result is a cured profile, suitable for several application areas.
Everything depends on the quantity and the cost of further processing. This will be looked at on a case by case basis.
This will be looked at project by project and depends on the volumes delivered and the technical possibilities on our machines. In general any product in our "govaplast street" product line can be chosen.
Depending on the waste supplied (both in terms of quality and quantity), the waste can be used 1 on 1, or mixed with our own raw material (mix of waste) to obtain a guaranteed quality.
