Film, rigid & resin
Industrial plastic is usually cleaner and more consistent than anything in the consumer stream, which is exactly what makes it worth recovering. The difficulty is rarely the material. It is finding an outlet that wants that resin, in that form, at that volume.
Where it can go
Each route below is assessed and ruled out before the next is considered. Disposal is what remains after that, not where the conversation starts.
Off-spec, surplus and obsolete resin placed with manufacturers who can run it, with no reprocessing step at all.
Film, purgings, trim and rejects ground or pelletized and returned to manufacturing.
Commingled or lightly contaminated plastics routed to processors equipped to sort by resin type.
Material no reprocessor will take, placed where the energy value is captured rather than landfilled.
Disposal, once the routes above have been evaluated and ruled out.
What KODA handles
The outlet is chosen on the material's merits, not on what is convenient. Every option is weighed against what the stream actually is, what it is worth and what documentation it has to produce — and the reasoning is shown to you, not summarized.
Common in
Plastics processing, packaging, consumer goods, automotive, distribution and food and beverage manufacturing.
One stream is a complete engagementThis can be handled on its own, at one site, with no requirement to move anything else to KODA. It can also run as part of a full portfolio. The scope is yours to set and can change in either direction.
Questions
It usually still has a route, though a different one. Contaminated and commingled loads go to processors set up to sort and clean rather than to end users, and we say plainly when a stream has no viable outlet.
Often yes, provided brand protection allows it. Where destruction is required for brand or regulatory reasons, the material can still be recovered as resin rather than landfilled.
Yes. Film, stretch wrap, rigid containers, purgings, trim, regrind and resin are all placeable, though each goes to a different kind of buyer.
