Myanmar Mandalay, Waste Plastic Toys & Daily Necessities, Versatile Plastic Recycling Machine Success Case

Background: U Min Oo, a 32-year-old male with a college degree in business management, returned to Mandalay from Singapore in 2023 to start his own business. He noticed Mandalay had large amounts of hard-to-recycle mixed plastics, such as waste plastic toys and daily necessities (e.g., plastic bowls, buckets), which caused serious environmental pollution. He invested 70 million Kyats to establish a plastic recycling factory (1,500 square meters, 20 workers) and introduced a versatile Plastic Recycling Machine to process various waste plastic toys and daily necessities. As a cultural and tourist city, Mandalay has abundant plastic toys and daily necessities used by tourists and locals, providing ample raw materials for his business.

The Challenge

U Min Oo’s main challenges were equipment versatility and product application. First, the waste plastic toys and daily necessities he collected were made of different plastics (PP, PE, PVC) and had complex shapes, requiring a Plastic Recycling Machine that could process multiple plastic types simultaneously. Second, recycled particles from plastic toys and daily necessities often had color differences, limiting their application scope and selling price. Third, he hoped the recycled particles could be used in high-value products (e.g., plastic toys, decorative materials) to boost profit margins. Additionally, he needed adjustable equipment to modify processing parameters for different raw materials.

The Solution

We provided U Min Oo with a TL-700 versatile Plastic Recycling Machine, customized for Mandalay’s waste plastic toys and daily necessities. The specific configuration and solutions are as follows:

• A multi-functional sorting and plasticizing system that processes multiple plastic types (PP, PE, PVC) simultaneously, offering strong versatility.
• A color sorting device that separates different colored plastics, reducing particle color differences and improving product applicability.
• Freely adjustable processing parameters (temperature, speed) to optimize processing for different raw materials.
• A high-precision granulating system that produces uniform, glossy particles suitable for plastic toy and decorative material production.
• Professional technical guidance to help U Min Oo adjust processing parameters and expand recycled particle applications.

The Results

After 6 months of operation, the Plastic Recycling Machine helped U Min Oo achieve great success. The equipment processes various waste plastic toys and daily necessities with a daily capacity of 6 tons. The color sorting device effectively reduced particle color differences, allowing the particles to be used in plastic toy and decorative material production— increasing the selling price by 45%. Adjustable processing parameters enabled flexible handling of different raw materials, improving efficiency and quality. He established cooperation with 2 local plastic toy factories, and his monthly income reached 1 million Kyats. Additionally, his recycling business was praised by the local government for addressing environmental pollution. “This Plastic Recycling Machine is versatile and adjustable, it helps me process various waste plastics and produce high-value particles, which is beyond my expectation,” U Min Oo said.
