PARTICO: Innovations and Sustainability through Plastic Recycling

The most important philosophy of the recycling industry is to make the environment better. With more and more people using lots of plastic products that cannot be decomposed naturally, we need to put more emphasis on the importance of recycling and great recycling technology to regenerate them. If not doing so, there may be more and more plastic trash entering creatures’ bodies through the cycle of biological chains.

Implementation of ESG and Contribution to Circular Economy
As a manufacturer of extrusion pelletizing machines, PARTICO is dedicated to calling for the importance of sustainability. We think carefully about our clients’ requirements before recommending any production solutions. PARTICO continuously innovates in the design of machines. By developing our PET vacuum extrusion pelletizing system, we make a distinction with other traditional manufacturers and create our own market value.

The most important thing is that PARTICO is familiar with materials and we take advantage of every opportunity to test materials characteristics. Through implementing recycling and regeneration, we try our best to achieve the aim of the circular economy as well as provide the solutions to our customers. In addition, not only extrusion machines, PARTICO can also plan suitable conveyor systems for our customers according to their materials characteristics and application, so they do not need to worry about the overall planning of equipment.

Decrease the damage to the environment by using recycled PET
Applying pellets to make food contact materials is the global trend in recent years. Therefore, several recycling machine manufacturers in Europe emphasize that their equipment has an FDA certificate, ensuring their plastic pellets can be used in food contact such as PET bottles or some packaging material.

However, in Taiwan, recycled pellets still cannot be used for food grade application due to law’s limitation. Nevertheless, PARTICO has strived to research and develop our machines to meet global standards, which will lead us to be rewarded with FDA certificates.

Suggestions to Start-up in the Plastic Industry
Do you want to start a business in the plastic recycling industry? You need to think about what kind of plastic you are going to recycle and what kind of application it can be. Moreover, you should consider the following two points, which can bring impacts to your business.
1. Price of raw materials
2. Market potential of pellets

Besides, we emphasize the importance of one machine for one material, because if using one machine for several materials, the operator must change the production conditions often. Also, the design of the machine may not be suitable for various plastics, which may highly influence the equipment's service life. If one machine only uses one material, the pellets quality would be better and create more benefits.
