Plastic Recovery
Recovering high-grade plastics from e-waste at 75%+ efficiency using AI-driven sorting.
Overview
Our proprietary Hermion robotic sorting technology identifies and separates plastic components from electronic waste streams with over 75% efficiency. Recovered plastics are processed and re-entered into the manufacturing supply chain, reducing landfill burden and virgin material demand.
Key Features
- ✓75%+ plastic recovery efficiency
- ✓AI-powered material identification
- ✓Multiple plastic grades separated and processed
- ✓Downstream supply chain partnerships
- ✓Fully compliant with UK and US waste regulations
How It Works
Plastic Recovery process
Step 01
Intake & shredding
Mixed e-waste is reduced to a uniform shredded stream containing plastics, metals, and components.
Step 02
AI-driven sorting
Hermion AI robotic sorters identify and separate ABS, PS, and PP plastic fractions from the mixed stream.
Step 03
Cleaning & grading
Separated plastics are washed and graded by polymer type and quality.
Step 04
Re-pelletisation
Cleaned plastic flake is re-pelletised and supplied to manufacturers as feedstock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Plastic Recovery FAQs
What plastic types does 3R Technology Global recover from e-waste?+
We recover ABS, PS, and PP plastics from electronic enclosures and components. AI-driven sorting separates these into clean, single-polymer streams that can be re-pelletised and used as feedstock in new manufacturing.
What recovery efficiency do you achieve on plastics?+
Over 75% plastic recovery efficiency per facility, compared with a 40–60% baseline for traditional recyclers — driven by our Hermion AI robotic sorting upstream of mechanical separation.
What is the annual plastic processing capacity?+
Each facility processes up to 15,000 metric tonnes of plastic streams per year on a 2-shift operation.
