Can PP Bags be Recycled?

Polypropylene bags (PP bags) including woven bags and plastic films are widely manufactured, sold, and consumed. It is crucial to recycle PP bags for reducing waste and conserving resources. However, recycling PP bags is indeed a more complicated process than many other recyclable materials.

How to recycle PP bags effectively? Genox’s plastic washing system is recommended. The recycling process includes shredding, washing, drying and granulating. The Intelligent automation system ensures that components actions are sequenced and monitored. The detailed technical features are as follows.

1. It is designed for washing plastic films and bags with contamination levels exceeding 80% Minimizing the recycling water flow rate and evaporation losses.
2. Pre-shredding and pre-washing system removes a large percentage of abrasive materials (sand, grit etc.) to protect the rest of the system.
3. Mechanical (centrifugal and squeezing) and thermal drying systems control the moisture content of the finished product. At < 5% moisture the material is suitable for high quality pelletizing.
