How does a plastics recycler work? Inside Plastic-Trader

Customers expect recyclates to have performance similar to virgin plastics, yet price still plays a significant role. How does a recycling company operate under these conditions? We visit the Plastic-Trader plant in Cieszyn. Paweł Górnik, Bartłomiej Szpek, and Michał Tomiczek discuss the preparation of raw materials to meet customer requirements, laboratory testing, and monitoring the material's path from waste to finished product. We show the plant's facilities and discuss the investments that allow the company to process increasingly challenging industrial waste.
