Applications

Diverse solutions for efficient plastics recycling Plastics recycling is much more than the name suggests. It involves a wide range of challenges as unique as the polymers themselves and their different applications. Thanks to our innovative modular system units, we are able to develop recycling systems that can be flexibly adapted to an extensive range of materials and contaminants. We will provide individual answers to every recycling question.

New life for all types of polymers

There are a few materials that are easily recyclable and can be reused in their original form. However, most are currently still ‘downcycled’, meaning that, in the case of plastics, the polymer material is lost after the initial use. HydroDyn is determined to change this dynamic – and many of the projects we have undertaken with our customers show that our pioneering HydroCleaner technology is doing just that. Below is a brief overview of polymers that we can recycle through highly innovative processes.

Rigid polymers

Known for its easy recyclability, this is a much sought-after material in the circular economy and plays a key role in the value chain.

PET

Although this is recyclable, it poses a challenge. HydroDyn offers a special cold wash for this.

more

Household films

Due to their wide variety and printed surfaces, special processes are needed to ensure successful recycling.

more

Stretch film

Often used in retail packaging, it is contaminated by the use of labels, which need to be separated from the stretch film prior to recycling.

more

Big bags

Often filled with water-soluble contents such as fertilisers, big bags need custom water-treatment solutions to prepare them for recycling.

more

Agricultural film

Despite heavy soiling, this can be recycled effectively as it can be separated and collected before being specially processed.

more

Nets and cords

These are quite difficult to clean due to their dense structure. However, they can be easily separated with our special HydroCleaner rotary tools.

more

Metallised film

These currently end up in incinerators. However, this doesn’t need to be the case. With our HydroCleaner technology, the aluminium layers can even be removed from film, enabling valuable recycling.

more

Deinking

The removal of printed inks is one of the technological strengths of HydroDyn – thanks to our efficient soaking and agitation times.
