Careful separation of plastic waste lays the foundation for high-quality recycled plastic
Separating different types of plastics is essential for effective material recycling. That’s why we support our waste management customers in identifying which plastic types should be collected separately. Our circular economy coordinators guide customers in improving on-site sorting at the source of waste generation.
For example, with efficient separate collection, plastic film can be turned into high-quality recycled plastic. We collect plastic film separately from sectors such as retail, logistics warehouses, industry, and construction sites. Plastic packaging collected separately from consumers and businesses can then be sorted by plastic type using our facility-based sorting process.
Plastic handling and sorting at Remeo
Most of the plastics we collect and sort consist of HDPE, LDPE, and PP. For example, separately collected clear plastic film is baled and can be directly processed through mechanical recycling. This treatment results in uniform-quality plastic with no mixed materials.
Plastic packaging collected from businesses or consumers that contains mixed plastic types is first sorted at our large-scale facility in Vantaa. There, we use infrared technology to identify plastics based on their polymer structure. The plastics sorted at our facility can be used in both mechanical and chemical recycling processes.
