“Recycling/Processing of Waste
Styro/Sandobags using the
Styro/Plastic Melting Densifier”
Primary Objective of the Project:
Size Reduction
Melting/Densification
Densified Products
(functional, novelty)
RAW MATERIALS
The technology mainly involves densification of “waste
Styro” or “plastic bags” by melting them in a vegetable
cooking oil at a controlled heating temperature; converting
the waste styro/plastic bags into rigid functional products.
