Ho Chi Minh City Medical Plastic Waste 350kg/hplastic pelletizing machine Success Case
Background: Le Van Anh, a 38-year-old former nurse with 10 years of experience, previously worked at a private hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. During her tenure, she frequently witnessed large volumes of medical plastic waste generated by the hospital, such as disposable plastic syringes, plastic infusion bags, and plastic medical packaging. In 2021, Vietnam enacted the “Plan to Strengthen Plastic Waste Management,” aiming to ensure all shopping malls and supermarkets use degradable eco-friendly bags by 2025, while also requiring medical institutions to enhance plastic waste recycling and treatment. With a bachelor’s degree in nursing and a strong commitment to environmental protection and policy compliance, Anh resigned from the hospital and established a professional medical plastic waste recycling company, focusing on the standardized recycling and granulation of medical plastic waste in Ho Chi Minh City, in line with national and local environmental policies.

The Challenge
Anh’s medical plastic waste recycling business faced strict policy requirements and technical hurdles. First, medical plastic waste has high hygiene standards—according to Vietnamese environmental policies, medical plastic waste must be thoroughly disinfected and processed before recycling to avoid environmental pollution and health risks. Second, the traditional plastic pelletizing machine she initially used failed to meet policy requirements for medical plastic waste processing, and the granulated products had hidden hygiene hazards that could not pass environmental protection department inspections. Third, processing medical plastic waste requires precise temperature control and impurity removal, but the previous equipment had unstable temperature control, leading to unqualified products. Compared to other suppliers, Anh needed aplastic pelletizing machine that complies with national environmental policies, features strict disinfection and impurity removal functions, and can pass official inspections. She also prioritized the policy compliance of plastic pelletizing machines and hygienic processing capacity.
The Solution
We provided Anh with a customized policy-compliant plastic pelletizing machine designed for medical plastic waste processing, with the following professional configurations:
- Equipped with a TL-350 medical plastic crusher with a high-temperature disinfection function, capable of disinfecting medical plastic waste at 120℃ before crushing—meeting policy requirements for medical waste processing; the crusher’s inner wall is made of stainless steel for easy cleaning and to avoid secondary pollution.
- Screw length-diameter ratio (L/D Ratio) of 1:38, paired with a precision temperature control system (temperature error ≤±2℃) that ensures medical plastic waste is fully melted and processed, effectively removing impurities and harmful substances.
- Integrated three-stage filtration system that filters out tiny impurities from medical plastic waste, ensuring granulated products meet national environmental and hygiene standards; the equipment is equipped with an eco-friendly dust removal system to reduce dust pollution during processing.
- Policy guidance and inspection support: our professional team helped Anh understand the latest national and local policies on medical plastic waste recycling and provided relevant technical documents to assist her in successfully passing environmental protection department inspections.
The Results
After 6 months of operation, Anh’s medical plastic waste recycling company obtained official medical waste processing qualification, and theplastic pelletizing machine operated stably. The daily processing capacity of medical plastic waste reached 350kg/h, and the granulated products passed environmental protection department inspections with a 100% qualification rate. Currently, she has signed long-term cooperation agreements with 5 local hospitals, achieving a monthly turnover of 25 million VND. The equipment’s disinfection and impurity removal functions fully meet policy requirements, with no environmental pollution or health risks during processing. Anh stated: “This plastic pelletizing machine perfectly complies with Vietnam’s environmental policies for medical plastic waste processing. It has strict disinfection and filtration functions, and the products pass official inspections smoothly. It helped me start my own business and contribute to environmental protection while adhering to policies!”
