Zero Waste Solutions’ process

Implementing a plastics recycling system at an industrial level is not just about buying machinery. Every plant has different conditions: type of waste, contamination level, production capacity, available space, applicable regulations, and final material quality objectives. Therefore, before starting up a crushing, washing, extrusion, or pelletizing line, it is key to analyze the process thoroughly and make technical decisions that avoid investment errors, low performance, or operational problems. Zero Waste Solutions accompanies every project from the analysis of the plastic waste to the commissioning of an efficient, profitable industrial solution adapted to your operation.

System design and engineering

We analyze the type of plastic, input volume, contamination level, and the final objective of the recycled material. With this information, we design a technical solution adapted to each plant.

Ideal for: Companies looking for a complete plastics recycling line or needing to optimize an existing installation.

Machinery selection and integration

As suppliers, we recommend and integrate the most suitable equipment for each process: crushing, washing, drying, separation, extrusion, compounding, pelletizing, and auxiliary equipment.

Ideal for: Projects requiring industrial machinery for plastics recycling, PE, PP, PET, film, rigid, or plastic mixture recycling.

Implementation and commissioning

We handle the implementation of the solution at the plant, coordinate the installation, and perform the necessary adjustments so that the line operates stably from the start.

Ideal for: Companies needing a turnkey industrial solution or technical integration with specialized support.

Technical support and optimization

After commissioning, we continue to accompany the client to improve performance, reduce inefficiencies, and optimize the quality of the recovered material.

Ideal for: Plants looking to increase recovery, reduce downtime, improve separation, or produce higher quality recycled pellets.

A partner with 20 years of experience

We convert complex plastic waste into reusable materials through industrial solutions designed to maximize recovery, final product quality, and line efficiency. In our plastics recycling lines, we transform post-industrial and post-consumer waste into high-value fractions. We design standard solutions or develop custom concepts, aligned with the real needs of each client, to maximize efficiency, material purity, and process profitability. Our goal is to turn waste into a new resource, drive the circular economy, and reduce environmental impact without compromising quality. We are not just machinery suppliers: we design, integrate, install, and provide technical support for complete systems for polymer recycling at an industrial level.

We know the input material well

Benefit: a line adjusted to the actual waste, not a generic solution.

We choose machinery with a complete view of the process

Benefit: a more stable line, with fewer bottlenecks and greater operational continuity.

We understand space and plant integration issues

Benefit: a more orderly implementation, fewer incidents during installation, and a line better integrated into the day-to-day operation.

We correctly size the production capacity

Benefit: you avoid over-investing in an oversized line or falling short with an installation that limits production.

We limit uncertainty regarding investment, return, and regulations

Benefit: better decision-making before investing in industrial machinery.

We meet quality requirements

Benefit: a more efficient, sustainable, and profitable operation.

AI-based plastics separation

Driven by advanced AI technologies, including solutions developed in collaboration with Lauffer.

Intelligent separation systems capable of classifying plastics by:

We integrate computer vision systems and advanced sensors to classify plastics by color, shape, composition, and other technical criteria.

– Polymer type
– Color
– Shape

The systems allow for the separation of:

PET, HDPE, PP, PVC, film, rigid plastics, and complex mixtures.

Main benefit

Greater classification precision, fewer operational errors, and better quality of recovered material.
