Recycling of plastic bottles at home equipment. What are the options for a mini-plant

It is no longer news to anyone that a plastic bottle decomposes for several decades. And it is already impossible to remember how people used to live without them. And yet they lived beautifully. Drinks were sold in glass containers, and often in order to buy milk, kefir or lemonade, you had to turn in the same number of bottles that you would like to buy.

Young people think that this is some kind of medieval savagery. But only some 25 years have passed since the day when plastic poured into our market. Therefore, the question of how to recycle plastic bottles is quite important.

Global environmental problem

And the approach used to be much more civilized than what is happening now. It is enough just to take a look at the landscape on any city beach, park or even in the forest many kilometers from the city.

In the Moscow region, only unauthorized dumps occupy 1.5 thousand hectares.

About 10 million tons of PET are produced annually in the world. In Russia, tons of PET bottles are taken to landfills, where they are incinerated and buried.

This waste accumulates, poisoning the air, soil and water. It is global ecological problem... Europe has already begun to deal with this problem more or less. By the way, PET containers are not that good. It transmits ultraviolet light and oxygen, and also does not retain carbon dioxide inside, and this greatly reduces the shelf life of the product.

This market has not yet been fully disclosed.

But there is also a plus: PET containers are recyclable. Insulation for jackets, filler for soft toys, the so-called artificial wool, which is used for the production of knitwear, etc. So in the UK, about 70% of bottles are recycled, in Germany - 85%, and in Sweden - 95%. And in Russia, only 6%. This suggests that this market is still very far from saturation. Thus, it is a tidbit for investors. Therefore, it is worth considering a business plan.

Processing plastic bottles, namely, the organization of this business should begin with the following: you need to find out if there are any grants in the region of interest or any state support for this type of business. Then you need to register entity and you can start looking for production space and office.

Searching for premises and obtaining documents

For manufacturing enterprise for the processing of PET containers, it is necessary to find a room with an area of ​​at least 3 thousand square meters. m. The best place to look for it is in the suburbs. Abandoned factory, warehouse, hangar. If only it was suitable for the area, and also communications would be summed up. The premises will have to be divided into three parts: a production workshop, a raw material warehouse, and a finished product warehouse. This must be taken into account when designing a business plan.

Recycling of plastic bottles is possible only with a certain license and various approvals from services such as the SES and the fire brigade. It will take about 200 thousand rubles to obtain all the necessary documentation.

What equipment is required?

Equipment for processing plastic bottles will cost approximately 4 million rubles. Another 400 thousand need to be ready to pay for its installation and commissioning. To the list necessary equipment includes a granulation line, a rotary grinder and an agglomerator.

You can get by with the equipment domestic production... Such a line for processing PET bottles will cost about 1 million rubles. But then you need to be prepared for small production capacities and frequent breakdowns lines.

However, it should be borne in mind that bottles can be directed not only to the production of any other goods. Raw materials can be used to generate energy. This is the so-called pyrolysis recycling of plastic bottles. But for this process additional hardware required.

What nuances need to be taken into account when drawing up a business plan?

Recycling plastic bottles without raw materials is not possible. Therefore, you need to purchase it. And this is a difficult question. Raw materials can be purchased from landfills. We'll have to go around a certain number of such places, negotiate a price, discuss the presence or absence of caps on the bottles. Pick-up points can be organized plastic containers... It's good if one of these points is right next to the workshop. This will save shipping costs.

Why should you discuss the issue with traffic jams in advance? The whole point is that the complexity of the pressing process will be increased due to the presence of air in the bottle. Taking into account the fact that many start their activities on weak lines, their breakdown is possible.

Accordingly, it will be necessary to hire employees who will manually check the bottles for corks. And this entails additional costs. Based on the foregoing, it can be noted that such important aspect required to be stipulated in advance with the supplier. Otherwise, the recycling of plastic bottles will be complicated.

Waste sorting technology

The habit of sorting waste has not yet been formed in Russia. But, for example, in England it is as natural as breathing. How could it be otherwise, if the fine for incorrect sorting of garbage is £ 1000? Each type of waste (there are three of them) is removed only on a specific day of the week. And if the owner of the house confuses the days and puts out the bin with the wrong type of garbage - again a fine. The Germans also sort the garbage.

The first type of waste is food. This waste is fed to livestock, and is also used as fuel in some enterprises in the energy industry. Dispose of paper separately from paperboard as this is recycled differently. Glass bottles different colors- in different tanks.

Old clothes and shoes are stored in special containers outside shops, churches and parking lots. Batteries will have to be taken to the nearest supermarket and thrown into a special waste bin. Another tank for plastic and metal. And one more for the "rest".

Everything is not as absurd as it might seem at first glance.

At first, it may seem to our person that he is in the "world of the absurd." No joke, about 10 different trash cans. And in Germany, stores take a deposit (about 25 cents) for each bottle. You hand over the bottles - you get your money back. And so in almost all European countries. There is a hope that the others will soon "wake up". In the meantime, residents of high-rise buildings do not really understand why, instead of one tank, there are now two in the yard.

Production capacity planning

You can plan labor costs based on production capacity... That is, you need to answer a number of questions. How many workers do you need at full workload and shift work? How many drivers are there for the delivery of raw materials and the shipment of finished products? Do you need an electrician, plumber, janitor on the staff? And also plan the salary of a storekeeper, receptionist, loaders, accountant, sales manager.

Sales of the received products

It remains to establish sales of products. From 50 tons of PET waste, about 40 tons of recyclable materials will be obtained. The recipients of the commercial offer can be manufacturers of disposable tableware, packaging films, manufacturers of fibers for weaving factories, factories of soft toys and many others. List potential clients with contact details can be found on the Internet. And then form a price offer, a system of discounts, a method of payment - and the commercial offer is ready.

It is necessary to assess the competitiveness of this area

In order not to sit back and think about why sales are not going on, you first need to familiarize yourself with the offer of competitors. In an amicable way, this should be done by designing a business plan. Recycling plastic bottles requires clear answers to the following questions: what do we sell, to whom, at what price?

The amount of the initial capital

Summing up all of the above, we can note the factor that the organization of your own business the processing of bottles will require about 5 million rubles. This amount will include equipment for the processing of plastic bottles, and the rent of the necessary premises, and the search for personnel. However, it should be understood that your own company must be constantly improved. Otherwise, it will not bring the expected income.

Conclusion

If the recycling of plastic, the business plan of which was described above, is organized correctly, then such an entrepreneurial idea will pay off within two years. Plus the satisfaction that this is an extremely important business for ecological improvement. We cannot yet change the planet like an apartment. Therefore, it would be good to learn how to live on this one.

The problem of waste disposal all over the world is of increased interest from business, since in most countries, the government in every possible way promotes entrepreneurship in this area. Especially popular destination is the recycling of plastic containers, including plastic bottles.

The so-called flex is made from bottles. This is the substance that is used to make various products from polyethylene teraflate (PET).

Products obtained during the processing of plastic bottles

Flex - the material, which is the basis of plastic products, is a round-shaped plastic lumps, which, depending on the purity (the amount of additional impurities), can vary from white (transparent) to brown.

Waste PET, which is used for the production of flex, is generated in two ways. This is a waste in the production of plastic containers and household waste, after using the bottles as directed. Moreover, the share industrial waste is also significant and accounts for about three percent of the total volume of processed PET.

Depending on the technological process that is used to process plastic bottles, flexes of different quality (purity) are obtained. Accordingly, a high-quality flex is more expensive. Low quality can be used in the production of a limited range of PET products.

Technological process for the recycling of plastic bottles

For the recycling of plastic bottles, manufacturers present Various types equipment. The most efficient are automated PET processing lines. Such lines carry out the production of flex, starting with the disassembly of packaging bales and ending with the packaging of the finished flex.

To obtain a cleaner flex, a so-called pre-treatment system is included in the processing equipment, which allows more thorough preparation of waste for processing.

In such cases technological process PET processing and flex production can be divided into the following stages:

• collection and sorting of used plastic containers
• pressing PET bottles into bales;
• transportation of bales;
• disassembly of transport bales using a baler;
• primary screening from foreign objects;
• sorting bottles
• crushing PET bottles using a special cutter;
• air separation, which removes lighter parts of the waste (eg labels);
• washing out crushed waste in special active solutions to remove dirt and liquid residues;
• flotation of raw materials; rinsing;
• grinding into smaller fractions;
• re-air separation;
• processing of raw materials in a special device where complete or partial melting of raw materials, its filtration and strand granulation is carried out;
• packaging of the finished product.

Also, to improve the quality of the flex, additional technological operations can be used, which will make it possible to increase the viscosity of the flex using the polycondensation process.

Equipment for the processing of plastic bottles

Depending on how complete the processing cycle allows the equipment to carry out, it is divided into multifunctional (system) and one functional (performing one function, for example, granulating raw material flakes).

In most cases, one functional equipment is used in conjunction with big amount manual labor. In such cases, automated processes for the preparation and transportation of raw materials are performed manually.

Manual production is ineffective and usually the quality of the resulting product is poor. Multifunctional equipment is significantly more expensive at the acquisition stage, but its use allows for large-scale and high-quality production of flex.

Recycling of plastic bottles - interesting option business, but it requires rather rare and expensive equipment. A good addition or maybe a substitute for this case can be:

All this diversity is associated with plastic and equipment intersects in one way or another. That is simple language, instead of one case, you can conduct several at once. Take the time and read.

Depending on the degree of automation of production processes, PET processing equipment can be divided into:

1. Mechanized.
2. Semi-automatic.
3. Automatic.

Mechanized equipment rather rarely used, since it is fraught with the risk of getting a low-quality flex. Typically, such equipment can be part of complex lines to replace more expensive automated assemblies.

Semi-automatic equipment received the greatest distribution, since at a fairly competitive price it allows you to get high-quality flex and ensure serial production. At the same time, depending on the degree of automation of individual processes, such equipment can significantly reduce the amount of manual labor and increase the speed and volume of production.

Automatic equipment allows you to completely eliminate manual labor for recycling PET waste. At the same time, the control and management of the process is carried out using special software.

The latter is the most expensive and is used mainly on large enterprises along with the production of PET products. To maintain it, special service companies are usually hired, and only trained specialists can manage the process.

Video: PET recycling line.

To perform technological operations for the processing of plastic bottles, the following equipment is used:

• shredders of plastic containers - they can be used at several stages of the preparation of flakes to give them a given size and usually represent a system of rotary knives, can be equipped with a cyclone, a screen for sound insulation, as well as a cleaning module;
• the granulator is the main unit in the PET processing line, which is designed to heat the flakes to the preset recipe temperature (depending on the degree of melting). It also performs filtration and strand granulation;
• air separators - can be used in several places of the line to prepare raw materials for granulation. They work to separate the estimated sizes of flakes from both smaller fractions and additional debris (such as stickers, paper, and so on). At the same time, with the help of an air stream, the fractions are separated depending on their weight and density;
• washing modules;
• transport conveyors - used in a multifunctional complex of equipment, at different stages of the production process. They provide a high level of automation, and can also be used in the primary sorting of raw materials.
• unloading and loading manipulators;
• flex packing lines.

Modern man knows what harm is done to the environment plastic waste in the form of plastic bottles and plastic bags... Their destruction in natural natural environment has been happening for hundreds of years. The decomposition is accompanied by chemical reactions with the release of elements harmful to the soil. Thermal destruction of polymer containers is even more harmful to nature. Plants and trees absorb harmful substances together with smoke. Therefore, the recycling of plastic bottles as a business provides benefits to nature in addition to income.

It's important to know! At a temperature of 900 ° C, the plastic material does not burn out completely. It is combined in a small proportion with chlorine existing in the natural environment. Such a reaction creates a poison called dioxin that is dangerous for a living organism. His lethal dose for the human body is 0.00001 g.

Algorithm for recycling plastic bottles

From this information, it becomes clear that the plastic bottle recycling business is essentially a project of caring for the next generation. The creation of a new enterprise for the processing of plastic containers minimizes the likelihood of an environmental disaster.

The recycling process includes:

• collection of raw materials (plastic containers);
• sorting together with pressing and delivery to production sites;
• splitting up;
• cleansing dirt with water;
• filtration from debris (covers, labels, mechanical elements);
• additional washing and drying of the cleaned material;
• production of granular material.

Such a technological process can be created different ways... Its organization will require considerable financial costs. But, a plastic recycling plant for short term will return the money spent.

Areas of use of the material

In demand, polyethylene material (PET) is on the same level as waste paper and glass. Its processing consists in the manufacture of colorless and colored granules used for the manufacture of chemical fibers.

From this material in the future they produce:

• construction briquettes;
• roofing tiles;
• film;
• paths for sidewalks.

As you can see from the list, recyclable plastic is the backbone of many building materials... This indicates the profitability of such a commercial direction.

Organization of collection of raw materials

One of the main stages on the way to creating a PET recycling facility is the creation of reception points and channels for the supply of raw materials to the processing site. They can be organized in three ways:

1. buying up empty bottles at points Catering and among the population;
2. installation of special containers where garbage is collected;
3. signing contracts with functioning landfills.

It's important to understand here! The less money is spent on organizing the collection and channels of raw materials, the more profitable the PET bottle processing line will be. As practice shows, there are no problems with the sale of finished products.

Finished pellets from recycled bottles

Site selection methods and equipment installation

For the location of a mini recycling enterprise, you can use empty workshops of abandoned factories, unclaimed storage facilities and empty hangars. The main thing is that the following criteria are observed in this process:

• the size of the room must be at least 3000 m2;
• the presence of connected engineering networks (water, electricity);
• there was an opportunity to constructively separate the workshop from the warehouse.

It's important to know! A mini plastic bottle recycling plant should be located at the required distance from residential areas. Before creating a production, you must obtain permission from the SES.

To equip a technological line, you must purchase:

• crushing apparatus;
• belt conveyor;
• a table for sorting raw materials;
• equipment that performs the function of granulation;
• screw conveyor;
• centrifuge device;
• pneumatic type conveyor;
• storage tanks;
• a boiler that converts water into steam;
• suction device.

In addition, a purification installation is required. Wastewater, since the production is filled with harmful chemical elements... Their ejection will cause great harm nature and man. Ventilation systems will be required to reduce hazardous substances to personnel.

Plastic bottle recycling plant

Quantitative and qualifying selection of employees

The considered technological process does not require a large number of workers. For such a production, it is enough to hire:

• eight specialists to work on the lines of the plant (shift work);
• production manager;
• accounting specialist;
• two movers in the warehouse.

Positive and negative aspects of business

TO merits this type of activity includes:

• recycling of PET bottles is a socially significant aspect in the human environment;
• when organizing a business, you can receive subsidies from the state and self-government bodies, so it falls under the current programs for the protection of natural resources;
• production does not require specialists highly qualified v a large number, which significantly reduces the size of wages;
• the technological process is economical in the consumption of energy resources.

The main advantage is that mini - plastic processing plants in Russia are an innovation in the economic space. This indicates low competition in the sale of annual products.

Cons this kind commercial activities are:

• To start production, a huge number of permits will be required. In our state on this issue is poorly regulated the legislative framework... Therefore, it will take about 6 months to open a business.
• On initial stage work will be problems with the accumulation of raw materials and delivery to the production site. To sell the finished product, it will take time to conclude contracts with manufacturers of plastic products.

If at the initial stage you quickly and efficiently organize the collection and transportation of raw materials, as well as organize the sale of the finished product, you can quickly return the money spent. The basis for this should be a business plan for the recycling of PET bottles.

Calculation example

An approximate financial calculation of the project for the disposal of empty plastic containers looks like this:

1. The cost of equipment, delivery to the installation site, installation and connection to utility networks will cost 9,000,000 rubles. Here, the power of the devices is taken in the amount not exceeding 73 kW.
2. The productivity of the installed equipment is 80%. From 1 ton of raw materials, 800 kg of flekes are obtained. The remaining 200 kg is a waste of production.
3. The purchase of 1 ton of plastic containers will cost 8,500 rubles.
4. The cost of 1 ton of the finished product is 26,500 rubles.
5. For one work shift(8 hours) 8000 kg of raw materials can be processed;
6. At the rate of 8 * 0.8 = 6.4, tons of the finished product will be obtained in one shift.
7. The cost of raw materials per shift is 68,000 rubles.
8. The cost of the finished product for one work shift is 169,500 rubles.
9. The daily profitability is 101,600 rubles.
10. In 25 working days, you can sell a product for 2,540,000 rubles.

The money earned will leave:

1. 400,000 rubles for wages;
2. 330,000 rubles to pay tax levies and utility bills;
3. 300,000 rubles will be spent on transport and logistics.

Net income will be equal to 1,510,000 rubles.

Plastic recycling as a business cannot be started without marketing research. This is necessary in order to know exactly how many competing enterprises exist in a particular region.

The problem of disposal, as well as recycling PET bottles are among the most relevant. This is due to the fact that questions for improvement ecological situation and getting them back into production is pretty acute.

In order for the line for processing such bottles to develop more and more, they offer various events collection and sorting of such waste.

The problem of recycling polyethylene terephthalate

PET recycling is a problem big cities... Immediately after the holidays, a huge number of plastic glasses and bottles are lying on all the streets of the city. In addition, the same waste can be seen in places where people who like to relax often gather. But they think that plastic is a pressing environmental problem that affects absolutely everyone.

If you are serious about doing such a right thing and building your business, main task which will process such waste, it is quite possible to provide itself financially, while saving the environment. Such a business is considered the most easily opened.

Local self-government bodies often meet halfway, and also in every possible way help those wishing to open enterprises of this kind. V modern times bottle recycling is one of the most profitable segments of the entire recycling market.

Business plan

A business based on recycling this type of waste is profitable in every sense:

• Relatively small investment in equipment (more on that below).
• A huge amount of potential raw materials. Every year, each person throws out about 300 kilograms of garbage, and a third of this number ≈ 100 kilograms are PET bottles.
• Such activities are encouraged by the state, by reducing or completely eliminating some taxes. It is worth bringing this into the plan when developing it.
• Fairly quick payback. 2 to 3 years old.

PET collection and sorting process

Conventionally, the processing process can be divided into 5 stages:

1. Plan for the collection of PET containers. There are several ways to collect raw materials:
   • Waste collection points.
   • Collection on garbage dumps, for this you will have to conclude an agreement with the owner.
   • Place containers on the streets for sorting waste: plastic, paper and glass. It is considered the most civilized way, but in the realities of Russia it is practically irrelevant, due to the low ecological culture residents of the country. It will be much easier and more efficient to conclude an agreement with the owner of the landfill.
2. Sorting plan. Typically, PET bottles are divided into colored and unpainted. Then each color is processed separately.
3. Selection. It is necessary to select bottles made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from the total raw materials. Similar waste processed using a different technology.
4. Cleaning. Foreign objects in the trash are removed.
5. Pressing. Each type of bottle is pressed into square bales of various sizes. They are immersed in specialized equipment that converts raw materials into flex in the future.

Expenses and income

It is impossible to open an enterprise without investment. But there is a nuance, such an activity is extremely useful for the city, so the administration will do everything possible to assist your desire to open such a business.

To do this you need:

• 3,000,000 rubles for equipment.
• 30,000 rubles for initial raw materials.
• 10,000 rubles for utilities.
• 120,000 rubles for wages.

It turns out approximately 3,200,000. It seems that the amount is quite large, but the monthly income from such production is about 200,000 rubles. And the payback period, as mentioned above, is 2 - 3 years.

Recycling of plastic bottles

Next, we move on to thorough. The line for the recycling of such bottles (clean and dirty) recycles waste into materials that can be reused - flakes (flex), and then into granules.

Recycling of bottles goes through a full cycle of thorough washing and cleaning from various types of mud and oil types of contamination. In addition to such sorting, other operations are performed in an automatic mode, which is a waste sorting line.

The most standard equipment consists of two sections:

1. Washing and complete grinding.
2. Granulation of the obtained flakes.

The further process of granulation of flakes is carried out using a special parallel twin-screw extruder.

Recycling plastic bottles

The processing line allows the use of finished material in various industries:

• As an additive to the main material for the manufacture of new products.
• For the production and receipt of bottles for various technical purposes.
• In the process of compounding and fusion with different kinds plastics.
• In addition, the recycled material can be used for the manufacture of building materials.

Most people will probably notice this problem only when a huge amount of waste envelops us. Recycling bottles is a serious problem for which it is not so difficult to draw up a business plan. Today this activity is a very profitable activity, despite the fact that you have to purchase special equipment.

Out of about 300 kg of garbage per person thrown away per year big city, about 1/3 of the part is occupied by a plastic container, or, as it is also called, a PET bottle.

Today such bottles are used for filling them with mineral and other waters, juices, kvass, beer and much more.

At first glance, used PET bottles are completely useless, unlike their glass counterparts or waste paper. But this is not the case. PET bottle is an excellent raw material for the production of flex - recyclable material for the manufacture of chemical fiber.

Flex in its pure form looks like white or colored flakes. Most of it comes from recycled plastic bottles. It serves as a raw material for the manufacture of exactly the same PET bottles - thus, a simple plastic bottle can go through an almost endless chain of processing and return to the end consumer again.

But the most important thing that can be obtained from PET-flex (or PET, as it is also called) is chemical fiber... It is used to make bristles for sweepers and car wash brushes, packing tape, film, shingles, paving slabs and much more. In addition, the policy of recycling PET bottles is environmentally justified: after all, it takes about 300 years for a single plastic bottle to completely decompose.

At present, the industry of processing such containers in Russia is practically undeveloped, so opening such a business is more than economically profitable.

The process itself is as follows. Raw materials - used PET bottle is collected and sorted into unpainted and dyed (by color) grades. Each color is further processed separately. Then the bottles made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are rejected - they are also processed separately. Foreign objects such as rubber, glass, paper, metal, and other types of plastics (PVC, PEN, LDPE, PS, etc.) are removed manually. Each color is further processed separately.

The pre-compressed bottles are loaded into a special container processing line, the output of which is pure flex in the form of flakes.

The line consists of several units connected together by belt conveyors.

First, the raw material goes into a special rotary machine for separating labels and caps. The bottles thus processed and freed from foreign objects are then fed into a crusher - an apparatus like a large blender with several knives that grind them.

A special screw conveyor designed to move amorphous products (equipped with an Archimedean screw) places the resulting mass of finely chopped plastic into a steam boiler, where, under the action hot water the foreign elements remaining after processing in the machine for separating labels and caps are removed.

After the boiler, the cleaned plastic is placed in a washing polishing machine and then in a rinsing machine. After the water treatment has been carried out, the plastic is finally considered completely cleaned and placed in a water separator and air dryer. After drying, the ready-made flex is accumulated in a special hopper.

Costs of starting a PET and PVC waste recycling business

A fully completed line will cost only 132 thousand dollars (3.9 million rubles). Its capacity is 0.8-1 tons per hour. At the exit, a flex is obtained with a weight of about 80% (taking into account the separated parts that are unsuitable for processing and production losses - shrinkage, shrinkage, etc.) from the initially loaded raw materials. The total power (energy consumption) of the entire line is 73 kWh.

Service: 8-10 workers, of whom are also involved in the processing of the incoming material (initial washing, rejection), loading raw materials and unloading the finished product. One worker can process about 120 kg / h of incoming PET bottles. The salary of each is 15-20 thousand rubles.

The cost of raw materials is $ 100 (about 3 thousand rubles) per 1 ton (on average 24 thousand bottles).

In addition to stationary, there is mobile version- Portable mini PET bottle recycling plant.

This option is more suitable for a company that organizes the recycling of plastic bottles in several, for example, small towns simultaneously. It is known that at the dump of a city with a population of one hundred thousand, you can collect twenty tons of PET bottles per month. It is advisable to move monthly, for example, within one or two regions and recycle the containers collected in the previous month.

The mini-plant is entirely assembled in a 20-foot (6-meter) container. All units inside the container are installed and adjusted, connected by pipes or special transport equipment, and also connected by power and control wires to the control unit of the unit at the manufacturer's plant.

When installing a container-plant at the site of operation, only the supplied electricity, water and access to the sewer are required to drain the waste.

The cost of the mini-plant is 160 thousand euros (6 million 750 thousand rubles).

The selling price of the finished product is 22.4-23.6 thousand rubles, depending on the color.

Recycling PVC waste

For the processing of PVC waste, there is a special complex for their granulation. It consists of slightly different components than the previous ones, and the line for washing and grinding heavily contaminated polygon bottles for it is purchased separately.

The cost of such a line is 76.8 thousand dollars (2.3 million rubles). The granulation line itself consists of a crusher for crushing PVC waste, a two-stage mixer ("hot-cold") for mixing PVC compositions, and the granulation unit itself (twin-screw extruder, granulator, vibrating sieve).

All these assembled devices cost 459 thousand rubles, their productivity is from 15 to 30 kg per hour. The cost of 1 ton of finished products - PVC granules, depending on color, size and others technical characteristics is from 37 to 85 thousand rubles. for 1 t.

What is more profitable - recycling PVC or PET waste?

Let's calculate the profitability of purchasing a particular processing line. For a PET bottle processing line, the profitability is quite high: with a salary of all employees a maximum of 200 thousand rubles. per month, the cost of raw materials 3 thousand rubles. per 1 ton, with an 8-hour working day and a 24-day working month, the net product yield is in no way less than 15 tons, or at least 330 thousand gross profit.

Even if utility costs account for 30% of gross profit, the net profit will be at least 230 thousand rubles. per month. The return on business, therefore, is only one and a half years.

When purchasing a line for processing PVC waste, the total cost of equipment will amount to about 2.76 million rubles. Monthly wage 2 employees servicing the line - 30 thousand rubles.

The cost of raw materials is from 18 to 22-23 thousand rubles. per 1 ton. When producing about 250 kg per day per month, at least 220 thousand rubles are obtained. gross income.

At the same time, the net income is quite insignificant - about 50 thousand rubles. per month. But this can be explained simply - the insignificant production output under the conditions of an 8-hour working day.

With the transition to continuous (3-shift) work and the release of not the cheapest PVC granules, the net profit will increase at least 5 times.

The payback in the worst case scenario is more than 4.5 years, with the average - about 2, and in the most favorable case - less than a year.
