Plasrefine Recycling will use a high technology development involving advanced sorting, processing and manufacturing as well as a laboratory to conduct recycling research and product development to further drive innovation in plastics recycling.
Our facility has been designed to minimize or eliminate the potential release of plastics and chemicals that may be present in materials accepted for processing directly to the environment. These controls include a combination of processes and equipment design features that will ensure positive containment of any microplastics generated by specific operations in accordance with relevant regulatory guidelines and licensing conditions.
Plasrefine Recycling can build its own wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) onsite using dissolved air flotation (DAF) technology. This technology is highly effective in removing microplastics from the wash water, which will be continuously recirculated, with only treated wash water disposed.
Rainwater will be collected from the roof areas and used to top up the process water, used for washing the plastics. Water can also be drawn from the Council mains if needed.
