OKAY Plastic Recycling Facilities (PRFs) efficiently process single stream plastics from various sources, including mixed waste, and convert the plastics back into individual polymer types for further recycling.

Our system is in two main phases:

Phase One

  1. We use mechanical screening to clean-up the incoming materials
  2. We then use sensor-based sorting systems to detect and remove contaminants from the mixed polymer stream
  3. We sort the polymers into individual streams such as PET Clear, Pet Blue, Pet Colured, HDPE Natural, HDPE Coloured etc

At this point, we can bale the products for resale and off-site downstream reprocessing or the process can continue:

Phase Two

  1. Decontamination and label removal: Ensuring plastics are clean and ready for recycling.
  2. Flake sorting: Separating plastics into polymer types and color groups for optimal reuse.
  3. Deodorization: Eliminating odors to create fresh, reusable plastic.
  4. Extrusion and pelletizing: Converting sorted plastics into pellets for new product manufacturing.

With our mechanical and sensor-based sorting systems, OKAY plastic processing plants can transform post-consumer plastics back into high-quality, ready-for-market recycled materials.

As with all OKAY sorting facilities, we can guarantee high-quality results in turning what was once waste into valuable resources.

Note: Phases One and/or Two can be added to existing facilities as an bolt-on upgrade.
