Historically, PE was the most recycled material out of all the types of recyclable plastic in the global market. The volume size of this category is projected to witness a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the combination of three factors: the high production volume of virgin PE, high waste generation and disposal rate, and an appreciable recycling rate for this plastic type.

Sorting and removal of contaminants from waste plastic, as well as classification, are the largest complications to finding industrial solutions for recycling plastics. Sorting with a plastic recycling machine is also a crucial step to achieving cost optimization and maintaining efficiency of the production process. Additionally, it helps in reducing contaminant. All in all, clean, sorted and classified plastic and the use of recycling bins are necessary for recovering the most value from the commodity.
