FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Polypropylene plastic is a recyclable material, and can be repurposed into new products effectively with the help of our team. The process for recycling PP waste involves various steps:

  1. Collection and Sorting – PP plastic is collected from business sites and delivered to licensed recycling centres.
  2. Cleaning – The plastic is washed to remove contaminants like labels, adhesives, or food residue.
  3. Shredding – Clean PP materials are shredded into flakes or granules.
  4. Melting – These flakes are then melted at a high melting point, specific to polypropylene’s properties.
  5. Reforming – The molten plastic is remoulded or pelletised to create plastic resin suitable for manufacturing new products.

The new materials can then be used to produce a range of items such as garden furniture, 

containers, or even plastic bottles, depending on the quality of the recycled resin.

PP plastic is identified using resin identification codes, with the number 5 indicating polypropylene. This ensures proper sorting and handling during the recycling process.
