Collection and sale of plastic bottles. Recycling plastic bottles as a business with calculations Is it possible to make money collecting pet bottles

To hand over unnecessary plastic bottles in Moscow, it is not at all necessary to spend a lot of time. The company "MOSVTORMA" will provide self-delivery of raw materials and delivery to the processing point, while paying you a cash reward!

One way to reduce negative impact human activities on the environment is rational use resources and recycling. PET plastic bottles are a cheap and practical way to package drinks and water, but they cause serious environmental damage. Once in nature, plastic decomposes for about 300 years, and tons of such garbage are thrown out every day!

Do your part to protect environment under the power of any person. To do this, it is enough to cooperate with waste recycling companies and hand over 5 liter or other plastic bottles for recycling. The enterprise "MOSVTORMA" is engaged in the utilization and processing of raw materials subject to reuse. We have acceptance conditions plastic bottles very comfortable, and the price in Moscow for recyclables is favorable!

Features of PET bottles

material for production plastic containers is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). For food products such packaging is considered safe. Compared to glass, a plastic bottle has more advantages:

  • weight about 28 g (glass weighs 350 g);
  • it is a strong and light container, during transportation its damage is excluded;
  • equipment for the manufacture of PET containers is easy to install directly in the production of beer or other beverages.

Acceptance of PET bottles for recycling helps to avoid pollution of soil, water bodies and long-term decomposition of raw materials.

Delivery by transport in Moscow and the Moscow region

Load capacity 1500 kg. Load capacity 1500 kg. Load capacity 5000 kg. Load capacity 1500 kg. Load capacity 20000 kg.
from 2 000 rub. from 2 000 rub. from 5 000 rub. from 7 000 rub. from 13 000 rub.

The cost of payment upon admission - what does it depend on and how is it calculated?

  1. The price of accepting plastic bottles depends on their quantity. The larger the batch of delivered raw materials, the more expensive it will be. We sell pressed PET bottles.
  2. Degree of pollution - clean bottles also cost more.
  3. Pre-sorting of raw materials before delivery - the price for receiving plastic bottles is higher if they are sorted by color.

How is the reception

  1. Self-delivery to a collection point in Moscow is ideal for small batches of raw materials.
  2. Pickup by specialists of the company "MOSVTORMA" - convenient way, in which the date and time of export is chosen by the client.

The final price for the acceptance of PET bottles is announced by our specialist after inspecting the raw materials on the spot.

Advantages of the company "MOSVTORMA"

  • Saving your time is the convenient location of the reception point and the availability of our own fleet of vehicles.
  • To receive plastic bottles, you leave a request by phone or through the website, coordinating a convenient time with the manager. There is no need to go to the office or look for where and where you can return plastic bottles in Moscow. We ourselves can come to you.
  • We work with different clients (physical and legal entities) according to the form of payment convenient in each specific case.
  • Acceptance of PET containers, plastic bottles of 5 liters and other containers is carried out in any volume.
  • It is possible to conclude an agreement with us for the export and disposal of recyclable materials on an ongoing basis with self-delivery.

I don’t know about you, but in our city and its environs a year ago there was serious problem- empty plastic bottles, cups, etc. were lying everywhere. I was especially bothered by the fact that everything surrounding forests with picnic areas were essentially turned into plastic trash - it was disgusting to go out into nature.

When I got really tired, I rummaged through the directory and found the Plastic enterprise in the region. Called and asked if they needed plastic recycling. "Necessary" - they answer. “Then why don’t you collect the plastic that lies under your feet?” “Here you collect, deliver - we will buy,” they answered there as if in jest.

Well, I go to the housing office, I negotiate with the boss (for whom, as it turned out, garbage in the form of plastic scattered everywhere was a terrible meningitis and constant “sticking from above”), he gives the master and the material. We cook the cage: the frame is a square, the walls are a thin steel wire. above - the same wire, but with cells bigger size- bottles are thrown there, etc. We paint the cage and set it up near the trash can in the "passing" place near the school. For seed, we throw a couple of plastic bottles there.

I come in the evening ... In general, the effect exceeded all expectations. Not only is the cage-container 2 m high filled to the top, but there are also plenty of bottles around (as it turned out later, junior schoolboy played "basketball" and cleaned all the surroundings of the school, especially the sports ground!). When the Zhekovets saw this, he almost fell.

The very next day, he reported about this "phenomenon" at the City Council, where on the same day they gave the "green light" to a new line of business. Now, plastic containers are placed near all the trash cans. They are filled on average in a week, and in crowded places - in 2-3 days. The city has become much cleaner. Now it's the neighborhood's turn.

The essence of the phenomenon, in my opinion, is this. Initially, the cells were "transparent". But when there were a lot of cells, the problem of loading the content appeared. So that this process does not take away extra time, synthetic bags began to be inserted into the cages. So. Cells with bags were filled very weakly, and the next standing "transparent" - very quickly. When this pattern was noticed, the bags were removed. That is, people see an empty space and subconsciously try to fill it - apparently, this gives them some kind of inner satisfaction.

Another problem is how to export this “good”? It is light, but oh-oh-very voluminous! The solution is simple - a container receiver with a thermal press is installed on an ordinary bead. Now one bead on whole city enough - a full container is utilized to a small cube in 5-6 minutes. just in time for the bus to reach the next trash can.

Such is the idea - purity and money at the same time. Of course, the idea is not home business, but even one enterprising person is able to cover a city where this has not yet been implemented. I note that in our city this person turned out to be not me - the idea was "intercepted", but I do not regret it - it became cleaner around.

N.F. I rummaged through the Internet and found information that large processors of plastic containers can buy it at a price of 1-10 rubles per kilogram (depending on color and purity) - uni-pet.ru/pokupka_othodov_pet.

Here is another useful link for those who are going to organize a similar business in Russia - greenmob.ru/ideas/169 (there, in the discussion of the topic "Purchase of recyclable materials, the coordinates of processing plants in Moscow are given, and a Map for receiving recycling points in some Russian cities-greenmob.ru/services/maps?city=4400).

I found here a fresh article about another super method of collecting raw materials around the city. Reading...

The first processing cooperative opened in the Penza region household waste.
Two weeks ago, new garbage containers appeared in the yards of Kuznetsk - concreted, with turnkey lids, with the inscription: "OOO Clean City". Young people explained to the townspeople:
- Now, as in the West, plastic containers and household waste should be thrown into different boxes.

Someone nodded approvingly: "It's high time. At least clear the city of garbage a little." Some passed by. There were also those who demonstratively overturned the bucket into the usual container. After the sound of broken glass, the guys heard: "You won't succeed! These rules are not for Russians."

From employees to businessmen

Two years of work at "Avtoresurs" professionally "shod". Rinat (the owner of Clean City LLC) knew that he had no competitors, moreover, in other regions, the "garbage business" was only in its infancy. He retired from the company and began to look for partners. People gathered quickly - school friends, acquaintances. Some lost their jobs earlier, some later lost their jobs, some lost their diplomas, TIN, work books. After the restoration of documents, in mid-November, 9 newly minted members " clean city have registered their business.

Like "they"

IN developed countries around the world, the mechanism for collecting and sorting household waste has been debugged for decades. In Europe recycling PET bottles are even put on a government basis. The result: 70 percent of PET bottles are recycled in England today, 80-85 percent in Germany, and 90-95 percent in Sweden.

Explanatory note:

Well, over the hill they know that littering will cost several times more. It will be even more expensive to dismantle the old garbage dump. They do not have such vast territories as in Russia.

In England, the most severe penalties for violators rage. Disposal and disposal of waste is one of the most expensive in the world. It is understandable, the landfills are concreted like a large pool with waterproofing so that not a single drop seeps into the soil. It will be cheaper to bury English garbage in China, including freight and other related costs.

Those 30 percent of PET that the British did not collect apparently leaves with tourists or is thrown into the sea with a fair wind. Or, under the cover of fog, they float down the river until no one sees, again into the sea. I think it's not so fashionable to throw a bag of garbage under the neighbors' doors, as it is customary to do here. Hope it doesn't take too long...

In Germany, cleanliness and order in the blood since childhood. Young German women do not disdain to wash Tetrapak packages like household dishes. At the same time, a little later, all household garbage will be neatly laid out in their containers, and not all in a bunch ..
The same glass containers are rented directly in supermarkets. A German burgher drags a box of empty beer bottles to the store ... No, he is not a poor German, it's just that they have a custom in society - to hand over reusable containers. Try not to hand over, then the neighbors will hand over you with giblets. It is generally the sacred duty of every German to observe law and order.
In Germany, throwing an apple core or cigarette butt out of the car window on the way, be sure that at the next post they will completely sand it. Because the German driving in the back will have time to capture your falling stub in flight and provide a photo to the police with the car number and exact time desecration of German soil.

Try to do the same in Rush. Make your loved one wash the Tetra Pak bag after the sour cream... best case hear a specific "NAH", at worst, get a rolling pin on the brain center. Well, throwing garbage out of the car window is like washing your hands (for most Russians). Well, if the mind is enough to throw out through the right door. It happens that through the left is not weak.

In Finland the situation is almost the same as in Germany. With the help of a state program, which cost a lot of money for a small state, they instilled a civilized approach to waste. Starting from the school bench, the young growth was laid in the brains, everything that a mature German knows - garbage is thrown out strictly segregated.. Waste paper, plastic, glass, etc. Spent a lot, but the result is on the face.

That's who will really delight you now and make the whole world go nuts in this area, and this is China.
Quiet eastern brothers really buy garbage in England and take it to China, but not in order to dump the trash into a ravine or dig it up at the nearest hill, in no case. All garbage is sorted exclusively by handles and recycled.
This has really succeeded...
No wonder if the Chinese are pulling some greenery from the British ... for recycling, of course ...

I must say, they earn very curly ...
First, they cut the British, and then, having sorted everything in their homeland and stuck on a new bunch of goods, they sell it to us - the Russians ... Oh, how ....
We are proud people ... We don’t recycle our own shit, we save up for a happy future, and even buy someone else’s like candy. A good transit in China was invented ...

In Russia, however (due to the lack of waste processing plants in sufficient quantities), landfills are covered with dozens of tons of plastic bottles. When burned, they release a large amount of carcinogens. And if secondary production is not developed today, the country will face an ecological catastrophe.

Explanatory note:

No Renat, not because of the lack of MSZ the whole thing is wrong. The population could manually sort out all this junk, according to the principle of the Chinese ... Yes, and the incinerator can be poked at each landfill ..
Here the matter is deeper.
Who actually receives money from the population for the disposal of solid waste is in no way interested in sharing his "loaf" with someone else. The appearance of an incinerator at the test site may slightly push or completely deprive such earnings ... Accordingly, no one intends to figure out what is better for the environment and for people.
This is not a royal business - poking around in the garbage.

Meanwhile, big money can be made from this big problem. Waste from plastic bottles today is the most valuable and highly demanded recyclable material.

Plastic bottles are used as a raw material for textile industry, manufacturing tiles, euro pallets, wool, panels and bumpers for cars ... But not yet in our country.

Explanatory note:

You are mistaken, a lot has already been done with us for a long time. We have a lot of raw materials, but few processing plants ...
That's why!-
Before the crisis, a used PET bottle cost 12 rubles per kg. And today (13.12.09) a kilogram of collected PET costs 5 rubles. One PET bottle costs about 20 kopecks.
And they will also drop the cost of PET easily, because processors are now dying from the crisis.


We change consciousness

Now 21 containers of the "Clean City" have been installed in Kuznetsk. More, according to young businessmen, is not necessary yet. They covered the most densely populated areas of the city, where the boxes are filled in a few days. They can, of course, faster, but so far everything depends on psychology.

“It takes at least a year to teach people to throw out garbage “selectively,” says Rinat. - Everyone should understand: it is beneficial for him personally and this is a contribution to the cleanliness of the city.

While public consciousness has not changed, Bareev and his companions agree with the janitors so that they, if possible, sort out waste from conventional containers and folded "where necessary."

Today, the cooperative sends bales of 60-70 kilograms to Chaadaevka, in which plastic container"crushed" into shavings. The price of this product is twice as high as the unprocessed one.

In the future, the volume of containers will increase several times. For what? First, the guys will open in different parts The city has five collection points for PET and glass containers. Secondly, they will install paper containers. And closer to the summer they will "get" to the track, where there are many eateries and cafes. And in a couple of years, perhaps they will become manufacturers.

– Plaids and blankets are made from PET containers in the West, – says Bareev. We also have such ideas. But what is more likely is the production of corrugated board for furniture factories. For example, in Kuznetsk there is a great demand for them, but there is almost no supply.

Although this is all a matter of the distant future, when the cooperative will pay off. According to plans - in three years. In the meantime, young businessmen drive around the city from morning to evening, from point to point, and repeat the memorized phrase:
– Now there is a separate container for plastic bottles. articles Penza truth.

A specific final explanation, for those who are in the tank:

Guys, why did you decide that the whole city is about to mature psychologically and will live by your rules? Yes, if the governor of the city barks out of the mouthpiece into the ear of each resident separately that tomorrow we put all the solid waste separately, then you just get 100 percent garbage removal at night .... the whole bunch, and not separately ... And it will not be hesitate...

I put a homemade bag of garbage in the car in the park and forgot to throw it into the container. I decided to throw the garbage into a container near another house. Out of nowhere, one smart pensioner, seeing me near THEIR container, flies with the words:
“Are you doing business? Do you throw your garbage into OUR container? We pay money for it!!!

Grandfather, I say, but it will become easier for you if I now scatter this garbage along the sidewalk and the janitor (who cleaned up so close in time) will put it all in your container ??? What is the meaning of your and my container? Will they charge you for my trash?

Here is such a mentality ... Scatter garbage along the street, no one will say a word to you .. Put it in the nearest container, ready to dry the whole brain. Grandfather cooled down after my proposal, but in my opinion he didn’t understand that the overload of his container does not happen because I dump bags of garbage there every single day, but because the service, designed to regularly take out the garbage, saves on an extra stick .. Or maybe even simpler, the garbage truck driver himself regularly saves free fuel.

And what is the benefit separate collection for the population, I still do not understand? In the case of the person who dumped the garbage in a heap, I would do the same ... For I pay money for recycling and do not intend to sort trash at home ...

To change consciousness and teach people to throw out garbage "selectively", in Rush it will take time and effort of several generations. And not the fact that it will work everywhere ...

The first thing the local population will do is they will try to pull your dishes out of the container and hand them over to the nearest receiver for money .. But since you seem to be a monopoly in the city in the field of glass containers and PET, they will simply fill up your containers with ordinary mixed solid waste.

But to agree with the wipers on a bubble basis on selective (separate) garbage collection, this is healthy. If again they agreed for free, then the result of the fees will be appropriate ...

And now about the main thing...
The only thing you have succeeded in is saving on renting premises for receivers and on the receptionist .... But the stick is double-edged ... Every time you drive a car for half a hundred PET bottles, you know, you roll more gasoline than you earn. Well, since there is no receptionist, then the driver will apparently be engaged in sorting ...

Reception points become unprofitable for many reasons... The crisis is the number one reason. The second reason is the meager cost of recyclables. Increasing rent and energy carriers - reason number 3. To the heap, collections of glass containers and PET in the city fell dozens of times. If a couple of years ago, 100 boxes of glass containers were accepted, now 7 boxes at most per day. The same thing is happening with PET ... At this point, the homeless simply went on the principle, for 5-10 kopecks they refuse to wear it. It is understandable, just recently PET was taken for 20-25 kopecks. This is a long song, let's move on ...

In order not to devote your whole life to traveling to receivers from morning to night, you need to get into production today, which will be provided with raw materials from the receiving point. Thus, you will kill several birds with one stone:

1. The price of PET will no longer depend on the buyers of raw materials. You can assign a cost for the acceptance of recyclables depending on your needs.
2. At a minimum, save on travel expenses ... For any reason, take it somewhere and hand over the collected raw materials .. Perhaps you are going to another city ...
3. Own production NATURALLY! in terms of profitability, it is an order of magnitude higher than fees. Without your own production, even if there is a monopolist in the city for the collection of raw materials, you still cannot survive ...
4. There will be even more income if the production is capable of producing the final product, and not a semi-finished product in the form of a flex .. For selling flex (crushed washed PET) is almost equivalent in terms of profitability to selling simply collected dirty PET.

These are PET pies with kittens.

Note address:

interesting this topic, so the following questions arose:
1. How do you evaluate the prospect of sorting pet bottles right at the landfill?
2. if you place not 21 containers, but 150 containers around the city and check not every day, but once every ... 2 weeks, will it be more economically feasible?
3. the price is 5 rubles per kg, for which bottle? transparent, with a label, without it?

1. PET has been collected in landfills for a long time ...
Landfillers should be happy with volumes...
The main thing is to recruit workers for PET collections, the raw materials are cheap, and the work is still so ...

2. If one and a half old women and two janitors collect PET around the city, then the number of containers will not play a big role ... An increase in containers or their number will be advisable if the already installed ones cannot cope with the collection, and this is a very distant prospect ... Very I doubt that the population for a great life will begin to stack PET separately from garbage ...

3. On this moment the price of transparent PET with a label is 10 rubles per kg... Brown and blue are 8 rubles per 1 kg. They will buy it from me with my delivery ... How do you agree with your customers on what conditions, such a price will be ...

P.S: In general, the picture with PET is as follows-
The landfillers collect PET to the fullest, but I don't think they are very satisfied with the profit ... They collect it cleanly to the heap mostly.
Wholesalers in the city are sitting on industrial waste- pure PET (trimmings, production defects) - the volumes are good and the cost is correspondingly higher than the polygon ...
Perhaps wholesalers separately accept dirty ones too ... I know two people who refused to accept dirty ones at all, because the profit is not encouraging ...

The receivers hand over PET that is not as dirty as at the landfill, but its price is still very dirty, so in the end you get all the same pennies ... And if the wholesaler and the landfiller can still somehow cash in on large volumes, then the receivers dry the oars in this place ... They didn’t build any checkered monkeys, they didn’t spend money on anything, but they simply remove this crap from acceptance ...

Earnings on PET start with wagon deliveries, but not with Gazelkas with Gaziks ... Here is such a picture.

Growing interest in the organization own business has been observed for more than a year. At the same time, most individuals and huge companies are increasingly paying tribute to environmental protection in order to preserve their health and the future of the planet.

That is why one of the ideas that are gaining popularity is the recycling of PET bottles.

Since any projects that help improve people's living conditions are at the peak of popularity, bottle recycling is a relevant business idea. Given the fact that so far in our country practically no one is doing this, we can conclude that any novice entrepreneur has a chance to gain a foothold in the industry and start earning decent money.

However, this kind of business has its drawbacks, which in fact can be considered as obstacles to the successful implementation of the idea:

  • Difficulties associated with opening. Since this area is poorly regulated by law, the preparation of documentation itself is a rather complicated process. In addition, you need to get a large number permissions from various structures. As a result, the whole process can take from 5 to 8 months (which is quite a long time compared to other activities).
  • Difficulty in establishing a sufficiently stable supply of raw materials. In order to really make money in the processing industry, it is necessary to establish a process so that raw materials are constantly available. On the other hand, a problem of a different nature stands out here - it is not always clear where processed products can be sold.
  • High dependence on manual labor. In all situations where a business depends precisely on this type of work, it is necessary to organize employees in such a way that they form Friendly team Otherwise, the efficiency of the activity will tend to zero. To simplify the solution of this problem can build a system of motivation.

At the same time, the advantages of this business cover all possible disadvantages. So, among them stand out:

  • High profitability. The ratio of profit and revenue will be about 25%, which is significantly higher than in other areas.
  • Loyal attitude of people to such activities. If many companies have a controversial image among the population, then a bottle recycling entrepreneur will definitely be respected among the residents. This may guarantee some support from their side.
  • Environmental projects are now easier receive support from the government and local authorities.
  • Many companies strive to be socially responsible and in some way protect the environment. At the same time, they often do not want to do this, because if this is not their main profile, it can be extremely unprofitable from an economic point of view and adversely affect efficiency. Therefore, they prefer to invest in such projects.

Technology of the processing process

The technology is carried out in this way:

  1. First, plastic PET bottles are collected.
  2. Then you need to sort by class. Most often, it is produced for an unpainted group and a dyed one, within which an additional sorting by color is performed. Each subgroup will be processed separately. Also separate category are PVC bottles, which must be recycled in a special way.
  3. After that, in each group there is a manual removal of rubber, paper, metal, etc.
  4. The next step is to squeeze the bottles. When they become compressed, they must be loaded onto a line dedicated to container recycling.
  5. The result is a flake-like flex. Flex is a raw material either for the manufacture of the same bottles, or for chemical fiber, from which many products are made, among which packing tape, paving slabs, films, etc. stand out.

It is important to understand that during the recycling process, labels and caps are automatically removed and bottles are crushed. Then the fragments are placed in a special boiler, where the remaining foreign elements are washed off with water. Finally, the cleaned plastic is further cleaned and dried. It should be stored in a bunker intended for this.

Necessary equipment

There are two options for organizing such a business:

  • First, it could be mobile plant processing unit that fits in a truck. This idea is most cost-effective if the entrepreneur plans to serve several small towns at once through his project.
  • The second case is rent of a building for a processing workshop. The cost of equipment for a fully equipped line can be 3-4 million rubles th. You will need:
    • Belt conveyors;
    • rotary machine;
    • The so-called "crusher" - an apparatus for crushing bottles;
    • screw conveyor;
    • Steam boiler;
    • polishing machine;
    • Dryer-water separator;
    • Air dryer;
    • Storage bins.

It is important to understand that the cost of a mobile plant will be higher and will be about 5-6 million rubles. As for the stationary option, it will be required big square– not less than 2000 sq.m. Accordingly, abandoned factories or warehouses closer to the outskirts of the city are best suited for these purposes - so that the price for the premises does not turn out to be fabulous. Alternatively, you can buy a large plot of land and build a hangar yourself (however, this will cost much more).

It is ideal to produce not only flex, but also fiber, since in this case profit and profitability will seriously increase. However, this will require an even higher level of investment, and a novice entrepreneur should only do this after the initial investment has paid off and begins to generate a stable income.

Obtaining raw materials for bottle recycling

In order to successfully organize a business, it is more expedient to open a factory in major city so that transportation costs are minimal, since bottles are a very light product, which at the same time takes up a fairly large amount of space - accordingly, transportation over long distances will reduce profitability. Alternatively, the location may be equidistant from several major cities.

Raw materials are collected by hand landfills in various parts of the country. In fact, at these landfills, the bottles are collected by hand into bags, then pressed and delivered directly to the factory.

In addition, you can search for raw materials via the Internet. There are many sites that post ads for the sale or purchase of plastic bottles. The main task in this case is to offer more favorable conditions than potential competitors: such services work on the principle of conventional auctions.

You can find a direct supplier of waste in the form of PET bottles. Often this method is the cheapest. It is necessary to find manufacturing or trading companies that produce large volumes of this kind of waste (in particular, these can be offices of beverage companies, since in most of them the consumption of all products is free for employees: accordingly, the level of consumption is very high).

General Costs of Setting Up a Business

First of all, you need to understand that organizing such a business will require a large number of workers, since so many operations will be performed using manual labor. The minimum number of workers will be 10 people. At the same time, their average salary at the moment is about 20 thousand rubles. However, it is important not to forget about the motivation system: as a result, the cost of wages will be slightly higher.

When calculating, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the work schedule of employees should be in shifts.

The purchase of a ton of bottles, taking into account transport costs, will take about 10-15 thousand rubles(primarily, depending on the purchase price). Interestingly, the price depends not only on who the purchase is made from, but also on the type of raw material: for example, brown plastic is the cheapest (its scope is rather narrow), while transparent, on the contrary, is considered the most expensive.

The costs also need to take into account the cost of electricity and consumed water. The cost of one ton finished products may vary from 40 to 90 thousand rubles. It depends on the size of the granules specifications, as well as colors.

Sales of products

In order to earn money on this kind of production, it is necessary to properly establish a marketing system. First, a company that does not produce fiber can sell to other similar processing companies with a more complete technological cycle. In this case, the price per ton will be somewhat lower than the market price, but at the same time, the enterprise will have constant demand.

In addition, some organizations are only engaged in the production of fiber from the finished flex. There are only a few such enterprises in Russia, but their volumes are very large, so this will guarantee a stable profit. You can use the platform to search for buyers of recycled plastic - place an ad and wait for responses.

Calculation of profitability and payback period

The payback period for such a project is about 1.5-2 years due to the need for a large amount of investment in initial stage. The advantage is the fact that the costs of an organized recycling process are quite low. Therefore, with a revenue of 800 thousand rubles per month, the profit will be about 200-300 thousand rubles, depending on the processed raw materials and other factors.

Thus, a business focused on improving the environmental situation can be profitable and bring stable high level income. Bottle recycling is a promising niche in which a small number of companies operate, so the market glut does not threaten the industry for many years to come.

Video about the organization of production

On the video you can see the production line and processing technology:

  • Collecting plastic
  • Taxation system
        • Similar business ideas:

Recycling plastic waste - mega actual idea in modern business. The number of goods and products that use plastic for packaging and packaging is constantly growing. As a container, plastic is very advantageous compared to other materials, and this is the reason for its popularity. Meanwhile, from the point of view of ecology, this is not the most “useful” material. Plastic itself does not decompose, and when burned, it releases harmful substances into the atmosphere. Therefore, its disposal is possible only at specially prepared sites ...

Collecting plastic

The collection of raw materials is exactly the stumbling block that confuses many investors. Unlike Europe, where plastic waste have long been thrown away by residents in separate containers, in our country such a practice does not take root well. Well, our people do not like to bother environmental issues when household is enough. Therefore, the installation of special prefabricated containers for plastic in the yards of high-rise buildings is an extremely dubious undertaking. There are other ways to get raw materials. One of the most real is the purchase of pressed recycled plastic. There are enterprises that specialize exclusively in the collection and pressing of plastic bottles. There are organizations like this in every major city. One kilogram of pressed PET costs about 15 rubles. The only difficulty here is to organize the transportation of pressed PET, because the volume is very large. And not every small business is ready to provide large volumes and its own transport.

Plastic recycling technology

Plastic recycling is a process carried out in several stages: first, the plastic is washed and dried, then cut, and final stage it is directly the production of recycled material, plastic granules. Processing into granules is carried out in presses - extruders, and the output is granulated material - flex.

The secondary granule, which is obtained as a result of plastic recycling, is in high demand. This is exactly the case when demand really exceeds supply. The needs of the domestic market of the Russian Federation are ours processing plants they can’t cover it anyway, so many enterprises buy pellets in China. For this reason, due to the growth of the dollar in last years the price of pellets has skyrocketed.

The granule is obtained from recycled waste, which at the first stage of processing is called flex (white multi-colored fluffy flakes). The granulate then goes to the production of well-known plastic products: PET, barrels, canisters, bottles for household chemicals, boxes, containers, polyethylene film. Also, raw materials are used for the production of insulation for clothes, filler for soft toys and sleeping bags, bandage tape and car upholstery. The scope of recycled plastic is so large that in principle there should be no doubts about the sale of these products.

Choosing a place for plastic recycling

Selecting a production site is not an easy task. According to the law, such objects should be located at a respectful distance from residential buildings, at least 500 - 1000 m. You can look for suitable premises in the industrial zone of the city, where rental rates are not so high. The area of ​​the object must be at least 700 square meters. m., as it is necessary to allocate space not only for the production workshop, but also for the premises for the acceptance of raw materials, as well as for the warehouse of finished products. As for engineering requirements, they are not so high. You can do without hot and cold water supply (use autonomous sources), without any "frills" in the design of the room. The main thing is the presence of sufficient electrical power for the operation of the main equipment.

How much can you earn from plastic recycling

So, a kilogram of plastic granulate costs about 80 rubles. For understanding, one plastic bottle of 1.5 liters. weighs approximately 40 gr. That is, 25 recycled bottles will bring us 80 rubles. (revenue, of course), 25,000 bottles will bring 80,000 rubles. Do not forget that in addition to bottles, there are also heavier items, such as canisters, plastic barrels, etc. Their weight is more than 1 kg, and they also get for next to nothing.

What equipment to choose for plastic recycling

The list of equipment entirely depends on the technological length of the processing cycle. What do we mean.

The line may include the following components:

  • Equipment for receiving, storing and transporting raw materials (pneumatic transport)
  • Grinding equipment (knife, hammer, impact crushers)
  • Mixing equipment (mixers)
  • Extruders
  • Kalandry
  • injection molding machines
  • Presses

How much exactly will it cost Production Line, hard to say. As noted above. A lot depends on the configuration, production goals and the country of the equipment manufacturer. One thing is for sure - the matter will not be limited to $ 100 thousand. Perhaps that is why there are not so many such enterprises in our country yet.
