Introduction

In Nigeria, recycling of plastic waste is one area anybody can easily venture into. The raw materials are easily found everywhere. Processing companies are looking for more suppliers to meet their needs.

Plastic waste that can be recycled includes PET bottles, Nylon bags, sachet-water nylon, PET-bottle caps, plastic containers, Nylon bags, etc.

Plastic recycling business is so vast that fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, only few people are doing it.

Value-Chain in Plastic Recycling Business

Plastic waste collection/ Sorting / Storage – Stage 1

Baling – Stage 2

Shredding (Plastics) or Agglomeration (Nylon) – Stage 3

Pelletizing – Stage 4

From the value chain above you can enter into the business of plastic recycling in any stage depending on your financial capacity.

Plastic Waste collection/ Sorting/Storage – Stage 1

This stage is the simplest of the value chain. It is mostly dominated by our brothers from the North with high/tight trading network. However you can get your supply from other source e,g manufacturing companies waste, schools, hotels, supermarkets, etc.

Supplier/Collection/Sorting – scale – storage – sell

Equipment Needed: (1) Weighing Scale (2) Packing Bags (Optional)

Baling – stage 2

One thing about plastic recycling business is that the more you move down the value chain, the more money you make. You will make more money if you bale/sell than selling directly. Plastic recycling companies pay higher per kilo for baled products.

Baling is very important especially when transportation/distance are considered. It is better to compact (bale) plastic waste for easy handling and size reduction to save cost during transportation.

Note: Before Baling, plastic waste should be cleaned and sorted.

Supplier – Scale – Bale – Stack – Sell

Equipment Needed: (1) Scale (2) Baling Machine

Shredding or Agglomeration – stage 3

If you want to go into plastic recycling business through this stage, you need a plastic shredding machine (Machine for cutting of plastics into pieces [flakes]) or an Agglomerator (Machine for grinding Nylon into powdery form [Agglomerates])

Having these machines you can operate in two or either ways

Buy from suppliers, Shred or agglomerate and sell to plastic recycling companies or
Operate as a milling station whereby people come to your place to shred or agglomerate and pay you for your service.
Supplier – Scale – Shred or Agglomerate – Store – Sell

Equipment Needed: (1) Scale (2) Shredding Machine or Agglomerator

Pelletizing – stage 4

Pelletizing machines converts plastic flakes or Agglomerates to granules before they are been sold to plastic manufacturing companies that uses extrusion, Injection or blow mould to form them into various plastic shapes. If you want to go into the business at this stage, you need a pelletizing machine

Supplier – scale – Pelletize – Store – sell

Equipment Needed: (1) Scale (2) Pelletizing Machine
