At present, the recycling situation of PET plastic bottles in Hong Kong is not optimistic. According to reports, less than 1% of PET plastic bottles are recycled. As a result, approximately 121 tons of recycled plastic end up in landfill every day. It is shocking and disappointing that New Life Plastics, the largest and only recycling plant in Hong Kong capable of converting PET recycled meterial plastic bottles into food-grade plastic flakes to remanufacture PET plastic products, had to suspend operations in April. It can process 1,800 tons of plastic bottles. However, the plant was only operating at 30% of its capacity as it could not receive enough recycled plastic bottles for processing. It can be seen that the recycling of PET plastic bottles in Hong Kong should be given enough attention.

We must find a way to break this situation, otherwise we will fall into a vicious circle. It is necessary to recycle PET plastic bottles. The first step is to squeeze out the residual liquid in the bottles. Only when the bottles are empty can they be recycled. GREENMAX bottles dewater by INTCO Recycling can help to squeeze out the remaining liquid in the bottle. First put the bottle into the hopper, and then squeeze it through the screw to squeeze out the liquid, which will flow into the water tank under the machine. During the whole process, the bottle will not be damaged, and maintaining the integrity of the bottle can allow waste PET bottles to be sold at a higher price. With this efficient bottles dewaterer can greatly improve the recycling efficiency of PET bottles.

In addition to using bottles dewater, it is also important to improve people’s recycling awareness. INTCO Recycling not only provides recycling equipment, but we also often produce some promotional videos and promote PET recycling through Internet social media, if you are interested in PET bottles or want to know more about bottles dewater, please feel free to contact us.
