The objective is to maintain the integrity and identity of these materials so that they can be returned to their source for re-use in the prime product. As each systems company has its own unique colour and formulation, Ecoplas identifies and segregates each material batch at collection and operates an identification system to ensure traceability during storage and processing.

Incoming materials are inspected and sorted to remove sources of contamination and graded before passing through the recycling process. The material is size reduced by granulation to 6mm or 8mm chip, fine particles are removed , material then passes through metal and rubber separation processes, colour separation and finally stringent quality control testing.
