Idea Title: Plastics Recycling

Business Plan

Plastic recycling is the process of

recovering scrap or waste plastics

and reprocessing the material into

useful products. sometimes it can be completely different

from their original state.

Plastic recycling includes melting down

unused plastic type material and then

casting them as useful plastics.

Possible Investment:The initial cost for this business is about

Tk 1.5 million (15,00,000).

Other variable cost is about Tk 0.75

million (7,50,000).

The vision of the manufacturing company is to make

profit 13% in year one, then exceeding 20% annually

starting in year two.

PROCESS :

Before recycling, most plastics are sorted according to their resin type. In the past, plastic reclaimers used the resin identification code (RIC), a method ofcategorization of polymertypes, which was developedby the Society of the Plastics Industry in 1988.

strength, toughness

PE-LD Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) Ease of processing, strength,

toughness, flexibility, ease of

sealing, barrier to moisture

5 STAGE OF PLASTIC

RECYCLING

PROCESS:

Stage 1 : Sorting the plastic

Plastic waste needs to be collected by the recycling

company, once the plastic arrives at the recycling

plant the first stage begins

to sort the plastic into the specific types.

In this methods sorting plastic waste into different

categories before going to

the next stage in the recycling process.

Stage 2: Washing Waste Plastic

Once plastic waste has been identified and separated

into one of its many forms the cleaning process can

begin, this usually starts with washing to

remove paper labels, adhesives and other impurities,

all the labels on your plastic containers, bottles and

even your wheelie bin need to be completely

removed as these will lower the quality of the finished

recycled plastic.

Stage 3: Shredding the Plastic

The shredding stage is when plastic waste is taken

and loaded onto conveyor belts or directly into huge

hoppers that funnel the clean scrap towards

rotating metal teeth that rip the plastic into small

pellets which are bagged up afterwards ready for

testing.

Stage 4: Identify and classify the Plastic

Once the shredded plastic has been bagged it is

then chemically tested and labelled as to its exact

specification, this R-Grade of plastic can be used

to add to a mix of virgin plastic in the

manufacturing run, alternatively the R-Grade

plastic can be further recycled.

Stage 5: Extruding

This is the final stage in the recycling process of

plastic. This process involves melting clean

shredded plastic and extruding into plastic roll

stock sheet.

The extruded sheet will be primary sold to

thermoformers who will convert it into high

visibility packaging, as well as laminators and

fabricators.

Breakeven Analysis

Advantages of Plan:

Raw material is available. Reduce the waste of PET (Polyethylene

terephthalate) type material. Reduce environmental pollution, specially soil

pollution. Recycling Plastics Conserves Energy and

Natural Resources. Recycling Plastics is Relatively Easy.

Market Summary:

The market from past to present –

The supply of roll stock sheet as raw at the Thermofermers Plastic Industry.

In some plastic mills , ex- Bangladesh Plastic Mill , Gazipur. in some other stores (depending on demand).
