Background: Mr. Raj Kumar, a college-educated engineer from Gaya, Bihar, founded a medium-sized recycling company in 2023. With India generating 26,000 tonnes of plastic waste daily and only 8% being recycled, he saw an opportunity to address municipal plastic waste (bottles, bags, and food packaging) from local cities. His factory (500 sq.m) employs 12 workers and focuses on producing high-quality recycled plastic for the construction and packaging industries. Raj had prior experience in industrial machinery, which helped him identify gaps in the local Plastic Recycling Machine equipment market, but he struggled to find a machine that could meet his efficiency and quality needs.
The Challenge
Raj’s biggest challenge was the inefficiency of his separate recycling equipment: he needed multiple machines (shredder, washer, dryer, granulator) to complete the recycling process, leading to high energy consumption and frequent breakdowns. The Plastic Recycling Machine he initially used from another supplier lacked an efficient washing system, resulting in 25% of the recycled granules having impurities (dirt, food residues), which were rejected by buyers. Additionally, the Recycling Machine’s noise exceeded 85dB, causing complaints from nearby residents and risking fines. Compared to competitors, our Plastic Recycling Machine offered integrated design and quieter operation, which caught his attention.
He also needed to align with Bihar’s plastic waste management rules, which require proper processing of municipal plastic waste to reduce pollution in rivers like the Ganga.
The Solution
We provided an all-in-one Plastic Recycling Machine (Model: TL-R1200) tailored for Bihar’s municipal plastic waste, with the following configuration:
- Integrated design (shredding, washing, drying, granulating in one machine), reducing floor space by 40% and energy consumption by 20%.
- High-pressure spray washing system with 3-stage filtration, removing 99% of impurities from municipal plastic waste.
- Sound insulation cover, reducing noise to below 70dB, complying with local environmental standards.
- Intelligent temperature control system, ensuring stable granule quality and reducing product rejection rate.
- After-sales service package: 1-year free maintenance, monthly on-site inspections, and spare parts supply within 24 hours.
The Results
After 6 months of operation, Raj’s factory achieved impressive results: the integrated Plastic Machine reduced energy consumption by 22%, saving 35,000 INR monthly. The product rejection rate dropped from 25% to 3%, significantly improving customer satisfaction. Daily production capacity increased from 3 tonnes to 7 tonnes, allowing him to sign long-term contracts with 2 major construction companies in Bihar. The Plastic Recycling Machine’s quiet operation eliminated resident complaints, and he received a certificate of environmental compliance from the local government. ThisRecycling Machine has streamlined his operations and boosted profitability.
Customer Quote: “This all-in-one Plastic Recycling Machine is a game-changer for my business. It’s energy-efficient, quiet, and produces high-quality granules that my buyers love. The after-sales service is reliable, and I no longer have to worry about breakdowns or environmental fines.”
