Guwahati, Sept. 2 -- Plastics sit in seven distinct resin categories-stretching from PET and HDPE right down to PP, PS, and general "other" blends.

Every single material type carries unique physical traits, which means they don't share identical recycling needs or processing setups.

Basic mechanical recycling hits four main steps: sorting scrap, washing out gunk, shredding material, and melting it back to re-pelletize.

Polyethylene rules the packaging space-HDPE covers your rigid containers while LDPE handles flexible film lines.

Reliable traceability and consistent melt conditions keep PCR quality high so contamination doesn't wreck downstream production runs.

Plastic is everywhere, but not all plastic behaves the same way once it e...
