Process Requirements: In-Plant Recycling of Extruded and Molded Scrap for Improved Sustainability

September 05, 2023 |

Learn how to optimize production waste management, analyze extrusion/molding scrap, determine processing needs and explore online reclaim options for continuous production waste.

Extruded and molded product producers have three options for handling internal scrap: re-use, sell or dispose of it. No matter the choice, some type of reprocessing is either required or beneficial. This course covers the logistics, economics and processing technologies used for reprocessing extruded/molded products, emphasizing the integration of reclaimed materials into the final product and in-house recycling programs.

Sign up for this series from Vecoplan to learn how to utilize in-plant recycling in order to improve your sustainability. The sessions are at 2pm ET on August 1st, September 5th, and September 28th, 2023.

Agenda:

  • Understand the scrap being produced during the extrusion/molding process
  • Outline information required to process scrap material for efficient disposal, transport or resale
  • Review on-line reclaim options for continuous production waste
