Qingdao Yongte Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. leverages over two decades of industry expertise and global R&D capabilities to deliver end-to-end solutions for plastic waste recycling, regeneration, and high-value utilization. Its specialized processing equipment handles diverse waste materials including PP/PE/PVC/rubber, while integrating wood-plastic composite (WPC) and pipe profile manufacturing technologies to enable resource recovery and industrial-scale application. Amid rising raw material costs, the company not only reduces clients' expenses but also mitigates plastic pollution at source. The core recycling solutions are organized into four strategic application areas, supported by full-cycle turnkey services, as detailed below:

1. Wood-plastic composite (WPC) direction: high-value integration of plastic waste + wood waste / glass fiber / old clothes

This is the core component of Yongte's recycling and reuse program, which focuses on blending recycled PP/PE plastics with wood waste, waste fiberglass, and even discarded clothing to produce eco-friendly building materials, significantly reducing the use of pure plastic raw materials. The key equipment and process features are as follows:

1. Core material formulation: The recycled PP/PE plastic can be blended with up to 70% wood powder or incorporated with recycled materials like waste glass fiber and used clothing, replacing traditional pure virgin plastic formulations and significantly reducing material costs.

2. Core equipment: CE-certified WPC floor production lines, door production lines, wall panel production lines, and granulators. These systems support adjustable capacities ranging from 75 to 600 kg/h. The granulator (e.g., SH75 model) can produce 400-500 kg/h of recycled WPC granules, meeting large-scale processing requirements.

3. Core technologies: Utilizes conical twin-screw extrusion technology, multi-layer co-extrusion technology (with UV-protective surface), and online 3D embossing technology. Additionally supports customized formulation design, allowing adjustment of plastic-to-reclaimed auxiliary material ratios based on global raw material cost fluctuations, adapting to regional raw material supply characteristics.

4. Application of finished products: These materials are used to manufacture WPC flooring, fences, wall panels, door frames, and columns. They feature weather resistance, UV protection, and thermal insulation, meeting stringent construction standards in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. This process transforms plastic waste from 'waste' into 'high-value building materials.'

2. Direction of plastic waste recycling: 100% plastic waste directly processed into plastic profiles/pipes

To address scenarios requiring wood-free auxiliary materials, Yongte has developed a 100% direct processing solution using plastic waste, eliminating the need for virgin plastics and enabling direct resource utilization of plastic waste. The solution focuses on two core categories:

1. Plastic Profile Recycling: Utilizing specialized equipment, plastic waste materials such as road debris and industrial plastic scraps are directly processed into high-density solid profiles of various sizes and shapes. These finished products exhibit exceptional mechanical strength and weather resistance, making them suitable for outdoor applications including garden furniture, safety fences, and logistics pallets. The equipment features user-friendly operation and low energy consumption, making it ideal for small and medium-sized processing enterprises.

2. General Plastic Pipe Recycling: Utilizing PVC/PPR/CPVC production lines, recycled plastic materials are processed into 16-630mm diameter pipes for water supply, drainage, irrigation, and industrial fluid transportation. The PVC production line features a high-performance conical twin-screw extruder, enabling efficient processing of high-fill recycled materials to ensure precise dimensions and exceptional durability. For instance, the 200-400mm PVC water pipe production line designed for African clients achieves a capacity of 300-400kg/h and operates stably for over 7 years.

III. Rubber/Plastic Mixed Waste Recycling: Utilization of Waste Rubber and Plastic in Pipe Manufacturing

To address waste materials containing rubber and plastic, Yongte has developed a specialized production solution for rubber irrigation pipes. By combining recycled rubber (including reclaimed rubber powder) with plastic waste, the company produces cost-effective rubber irrigation pipes with the following key features:

1. The equipment features high automation and low energy consumption, capable of processing various rubber/plastic mixed waste materials. The finished pipes exhibit a uniform nano-porous foam structure with stable water permeability.

2. The rubber drip irrigation pipe production line features self-cleaning and anti-clogging properties, with strong corrosion resistance. These pipes can be directly buried underground for precision drip irrigation, reducing water resource waste by 30% while increasing crop yields. This process also enables high-value recycling of waste rubber/plastic materials in the agricultural sector.

IV. Plastic Film/Bag Waste Recycling: Customized Extrusion Recovery Solutions

To tackle the massive plastic film and bag waste in Africa and Southeast Asia (including road-recovered plastic bags and packaging films), Yongte provides customized, energy-efficient plastic recycling extruders to develop tailored recycling solutions.

1. The equipment is optimized for the characteristics of thin film/bag waste, enabling integrated processing of waste crushing, extrusion, and molding without requiring complex preliminary treatment.

2. The processed materials can be transformed into plastic products such as water tanks, chairs, basins, buckets, and trash bins, converting low-value plastic film/bag waste into practical daily-use items. This initiative addresses the livelihood needs of regions like Africa while simultaneously resolving the environmental issue of plastic film/bag waste accumulation in these areas.

V. Full-cycle turnkey service: from equipment to process, ensuring the implementation of recycling solutions

Yongte's plastic recycling and reuse solution is not a single equipment supply, but an integrated turnkey solution featuring  "customized equipment + end-to-end process + full lifecycle service" , with core services including:

1. Customized equipment development: We design tailored production lines based on clients' waste types (e.g., plastic road waste, fiberglass waste, film waste), production scale, and finished product requirements. For example, we developed a production line for Indian clients to manufacture solid WPC door frames over 50mm thick, and provided a complete set of equipment for Canadian clients to recycle fiberglass waste into WPC flooring.

2. Process formulation support: provides optimization of recycled material ratios and production process formulation, such as WPC raw material mixing formulations and extrusion parameter adjustments for recycled plastic pipes, while also offering raw material procurement guidance (such as China domestic raw material matching).

3. Installation and Training: This includes on-site equipment installation, commissioning, and comprehensive operator training to ensure customers can independently operate and maintain the equipment. For example, when installing a CPVC pipe production line for a South African client, we simultaneously provide operator training to guarantee continuous and efficient production.

4. After-sales support: We provide a 36-month extended warranty covering the entire lifecycle of your equipment, addressing operational concerns during the post-purchase period.

VI. Technological Innovation: Expanding the Raw Material Boundaries of Plastic Recycling and Reuse

Yongte continues to drive innovation through R&D, expanding the range of recyclable plastic waste materials. The company recently successfully tested a technology that combines recycled clothing with plastic to produce high-quality WPC building materials. This breakthrough achieves synergistic recycling of textile and plastic waste, providing a new raw material direction for plastic recycling while further reducing dependence on virgin plastics.

In summary, Yongte's plastic recycling and reuse solution centers on "comprehensive waste coverage, mature processing technologies, high-value finished product applications, and integrated service implementation." Through specialized equipment and customized processes, it enables the resourceful utilization of various plastic waste types (pure plastics, plastics + wood powder/fiberglass/clothing, plastics + rubber, film/bag waste). Amid soaring prices of virgin plastic raw materials, this approach significantly reduces procurement costs for clients while promoting environmental sustainability. It provides a practical, scalable implementation pathway for the plastic industry's sustainable development.
