Business from scratch using recycled materials. Recycling

It would be logical for recycling plants seeking to buy recyclables at the most profitable price to turn to a waste removal company. That is why our company was initially interested in offering not only waste removal and disposal services, but also the supply of materials suitable for the production of recyclable materials. Large volumes and regularity of work guarantee prices for recyclable materials lower than what regular collection points can offer. Sale of secondary raw materials is one of the services of the Sanitarim company.

It is more profitable to buy recyclable materials from us

The ability to sort waste at the assembly stage implies separating the material for recycling from other waste, that is, a minimally contaminated product arrives at the warehouse. Transportation and storage conditions have a particularly sad effect on cardboard and paper - they become soggy and mixed with waste, making it impossible to use recyclables in this condition.

In order for the sale of recycled materials to truly bring you income, our company complies with the following conditions:

• regular supplies of large volumes of material suitable for reuse;
• reducing sorting costs and increasing its efficiency due to separate collection garbage;
• compliance with storage conditions;
• effective interaction with partners and regular removal of accumulated raw materials.

The cost of recyclable materials is not too high. But many production processes based on the use of recycled materials bring stable profits, for example:

• production of toilet paper;
• production of plastic and cardboard containers, etc.

Take advantage of the opportunities to open your own profitable business with minimal costs for raw materials.

Recycling and selling recyclable materials is more profitable than recycling

Properly organized processing and sale of secondary raw materials will allow you to actively help preserve natural resources and save money in the production of goods. The numbers speak for themselves: 100 kg of waste paper allows you to save one tree, and paper and cardboard can go through 5-6 rounds of recycling until the fibers are completely worn out. The same amount of money (and in some cases less) is spent on recycling plastic and polyethylene as it would be spent on their destruction - synthetic materials are difficult to burn and do not decompose in nature.

Waste disposal begins from the collection stage. Many types of recyclable materials are immediately stored in appropriate containers for further processing. Next comes the separation stage: a variety of methods are used to extract from the total mass materials that may still be useful. Ferrous metals are searched for using a magnetic device, regular trash sifted and divided into large and small particles, employees visually inspect the remaining waste.

After sorting, final cleaning and disinfection occurs, batches are formed and sent to the appropriate processing plants.

We come across items made from recycled materials all the time - newspapers, disposable tableware, drywall, cardboard boxes and much more. The market for recycling and processing of secondary raw materials in Russia is developing quite quickly, making it possible to provide most of the production with cheap materials that are not inferior in quality. Recycling various types plastic and paper is also one of the activities to improve environmental situation in the country.

LLC "Mosvtor LLC" on favorable terms and to the maximum high price accepts secondary raw materials in unlimited volumes for subsequent extrusion. We work 24 hours a day, we select for each client individual approach We guarantee professional and prompt service.

Classification of secondary raw materials

Recycled paper or plastic are some materials that can be reused. However, not all waste can become raw material for recycling; for example, oil-impregnated paper is not reused. In some cases, the raw material on the market may be products that have not been put into operation, for example, defective batches of textbooks.

Depending on what material is secondary raw materials, it can be used in different ways:

• the material for production can be completely or partially replaced by previously used raw materials;
• recycled waste is used to produce primary material for production, for example, plastic;
• processed raw materials are used in new technological processes.

Reception of raw materials for processing

Modern technologies make it possible to reuse secondary raw materials, increasing the share of recycled materials to 70% of the original volume. Our company accepts for processing on our own equipment such raw materials as:

• film waste of all types,
• waste paper,
• plastic.

The condition, shape, size of the raw materials do not matter. More detailed information about the conditions for accepting recyclable materials can be found on the company’s website or by calling a competent specialist. The materials accepted for processing are used to manufacture products for various purposes.

Prices for secondary raw materials

Recyclable materials are much cheaper than wood or polymers used for the first time. For manufacturers, this is an opportunity to reduce the cost of their products. In turn, organizations and individuals who use paper or polymer products in everyday life or corporate activities can earn money by sending waste for recycling.

The company "Mosvtor LLC" accepts paper and plastic waste, suitable for extrusion. Our own fleet of vehicles and production complex allows us to purchase materials without intermediaries, offering some of the best prices on the Moscow market. Call us, we will help you make our city cleaner by ridding it of garbage.

Thousands of films have already been made and millions of pages have been written about the fact that nature is important and needs to be protected, but the level of pollution on the planet is growing every year. The situation is close to catastrophic. However, once you find yourself in a dead end, you don’t have to stay there. Many civilized countries have long realized how important it is not to throw away garbage, but to turn it into recyclable materials and recycle it. What is this - recyclable materials, and how are things going with it in Russia?

What is recyclable material?

Recycled raw materials or recycled materials are a type of waste that can be used as a resource for further processing. According to the domestic classification, there are 5 types hazardous waste(all waste is a priori hazardous, read, toxic). The gradation is based on the degree of danger to nature and the ability of waste to biodegrade:

• The first hazard class includes the notorious mercury lamps, materials containing mercury and arsenic. There are not very many such wastes, but they are extremely toxic both to humans and to the environment. The first class of waste must be recycled, since when it gets into natural environment, it poisons everything around.
• The second hazard class includes, for example, batteries and accumulators, which are also recyclable.
• As a rule, the majority fall into the fifth and (less) fourth hazard classes. This is practically non-hazardous and low-hazard waste. Since they do not poison the natural environment, in our country they are simply taken to landfills and stored there.

Why is it necessary to donate recyclable materials?

Despite the fact that basically all household waste is taken to landfills (more like landfills), today the practice of providing city districts with collection points for recyclable materials is already gaining momentum.

It is very important not to pass by these beautiful bins, but to bring there all the garbage from home that matches the markings on them. Batteries, thermometers, and mercury lamps pollute the soil, making it toxic and unsuitable for sowing and growing seeds. On such land, no birds will sing, no flowers will bloom. Is this how we want to live?

A thousand cubic meters of forest are cut down each year to produce books, magazines and paper. Meanwhile, it is the forest that gives us the opportunity to live on the planet, as it provides oxygen. By cutting down forest belts, people are also deprived of natural noise insulation and odor absorbers from industry. Therefore, it is simply necessary to hand over waste paper.

Types of secondary raw materials

On this moment technologies have been invented in the world to recycle 95% of all materials. The most common types of recyclable materials are:

• Waste paper. Previously, in schools, everyone handed over waste paper, arranging competitions to see who could hand over the most, and received prizes for this. Childhood ends, and so does the collection of waste paper, and in vain! Recycling points in the form of waste paper are located in any city, and there are a lot of them in megacities. You just need to search the Internet and get into the good habit of taking newspapers and cardboard boxes there. New developers very often place paper and cardboard collection containers for every 3-4 houses. Take a walk around the area and see a lot of new and useful things! It is important to understand that juice bags (Tetra Pak) do not belong to waste paper.

• packaging and bottles have become a source of pollution of the world's oceans and the entire biosphere. Animals that accidentally ingest plastic often die. The habitats of many species are being destroyed and food chains are being disrupted. This is not a joke at all. There are many plastic recycling points; information on each city is available on the Internet.
• Scrap metal. This includes aluminum cans.
• Glass container. Glass containers are recyclable materials that accumulate in huge quantities in landfills, but are very easily recycled. Glass is easy to clean, and therefore it is not difficult to recycle it into new packaging.

Mandatory for recycling

There are also those that are required:

• Batteries. With batteries and rechargeable cells, things are more complicated. In Russia, only a few factories have the technical ability to recycle batteries, as this is a complex and expensive process. Sometimes the distance from the city to the plant turns out to be catastrophically huge. However, you should never throw batteries in the trash. They accept recyclable materials in the form of eco-boxes.
• Mercury lamps and thermometers. Like batteries, mercury is toxic to nature and humans; it cannot be buried in landfills. Ecoboxes are also installed for lamps and thermometers.

It is important to understand that broken thermometer cannot be disposed of independently. It is necessary to call the demercurization service, which will eliminate the accident and neutralize the premises and waste.

Reception and processing

In Russia, in fact, there are a huge number of recycling points, people are just poorly informed about them. The most common among them are ecoboxes and ecomobiles. A map of ecoboxes can be found online and it really is a huge network. Sometimes such an eco-box is installed in a neighboring house or school, and we simply don’t know about it.

The eco-mobile drives around the city and accepts all types of waste - from light bulbs to broken household appliances. It is enough to simply find out the operation and parking hours of the eco-car. There are also stationary collection points for glass containers, scrap metal and waste paper everywhere.

Home recycling

Recyclable materials are not only waste and a resource for recycling. Practically safe waste can be used in everyday life. Sometimes it's excellent remedy for inventing household and decorations.

• You can make a pond for your summer house out of an old bathroom, you just need to use your imagination and your closest relatives.
• Used tires can become flower beds and decorate the lawn.
• Glass and plastic container will gain new life, if you decorate it with scrapbooking decorations, paint it with paints, add applique and generally use your imagination. Hand-made is at the peak of popularity today!
• Any housewife knows that there is nothing better for seedlings than juice and yoghurt boxes!

“When a blade of grass is plucked, the whole universe trembles,” says the Upanishads. Nature has a huge resource of tolerance, but it is not eternal. The idea of ​​living in harmony and careful attitude- the only correct policy in relations with nature.

From an economic point of view, the part of human waste that can be recycled is considered the most valuable and is of interest to business and enterprises. Also, reusing waste allows you to reduce space landfills and save Natural resources. What is waste recycling and is it possible to make money from it?

Recyclables are several types of household and industrial waste, potentially suitable for reuse for human benefit. But for such use to become possible, secondary raw materials must be processed using special equipment.

Recyclable waste is traditionally divided into several categories:

1. Biological (organic) - this includes wood, paper, textile and food waste.
2. Technological inorganic – glass and glass scrap, scrap metal, .
3. Technological organic – petroleum products, chemicals, plastics, rubber products, wastewater.
4. Complex technological products - electronics, instruments, furniture, transport, etc.

There is also a type of waste that can only be reused to generate heat or electricity. This category is usually called secondary energy resources, and it includes industrial gases, oil refining products, wood processing, steam, hot water, heat exchanger condensate, landfill gas, etc.

Reception points

For many types of “useful” waste, there are collection points where both ordinary citizens and some businesses can donate recyclables. Recycling collection points operate in many cities in Russia; information about them can be found on the Internet and from various environmental organizations.

The receiving point is a special warehouse equipped for collection and storage certain types waste. You can usually get paid for your trash, although some organizations accept waste free of charge.

Most collection points are focused on collecting recyclable materials from the population, and therefore are not designed for large volumes of waste. Large enterprises, as a rule, they enter into a supply agreement, bringing at a time a large number of waste - usually not to the collection point, but directly to the place of its processing. And in more or less major cities V last years Companies that accept recyclable materials themselves come to stores and pavilions, collecting boxes and other household waste.

Recycling: equipment and methods

The choice of method and equipment for processing each type of waste largely depends on what will be made from recyclable materials in the future, on the quality and degree of purification of the collected waste, and even on its volume.

Waste paper is first sorted by type, color and paper composition. Some companies limit themselves to pressing used paper using special presses, and then the processed waste paper is delivered to construction and pulp and paper mills. Another option is possible - obtaining pulp, for which the paper is soaked in tanks, bleached, cleaned and whipped into foam.

This foam (pulp) is a valuable raw material for the manufacture new paper, therefore its cost on the market is much higher than compressed waste paper. The full processing cycle allows you to get from paper waste napkins, cardboard, toilet and plain paper, cellulose and ecowool. In this case, special production lines are used.

– from waste paper to finished product

Biological food waste is used in the production of feed for farm animals. The simplest technology processing involves boiling waste in vacuum boilers, after which the resulting mass is dried and crushed, and the output is meat and bone, fish or other meal.

To obtain extruded feed, installations are used in which food waste is subjected to dry friction under the influence of high blood pressure and temperature. The resulting extrudate is highly digestible and is considered extremely beneficial for animal health.

It begins with sorting to prevent foreign objects from getting into the finished raw materials. Then the glass is crushed, passes through a magnet, which separates metal parts (lids, etc.) from it and is sent for remelting.

Almost any new glass or bottle consists of 30-40% waste that has already been used. The glass mass, melted at 1500 degrees or more, is poured into molds by a bottle machine, then the glass products are cooled, tempered, packaged and sent to factories for filling.

It also involves grinding raw materials in cryogenic installations (using low temperatures), using rotary crushers and shredders. Then rubber crumb sorted and depending on size, used for the manufacture of rubber parts for cars, coverings for sports fields, paving slabs, some types of concrete, shoe soles, etc.

From the above examples it follows that in order to process almost any recyclable material, equipment is needed for its sorting, cleaning and grinding. And then everything depends on the type of prepared waste - some of them need to be melted, some need to be digested, and others are added to the “pure” raw materials for production in an almost unchanged form.

Recycling of recyclable materials in Russia

Experts believe that in the territory Russian Federation ecological culture It is just being formed, but in recent years there has been a growing interest in various methods of processing and disposal of waste.

The peculiarities of the mentality of Russians leave their mark on the development of the recycling market. For example, unlike Europeans, Russian residents have little interest in the need for waste, and prefer to receive money for handing over recyclable materials - while in Europe, waste is sorted and handed over almost always for free.

In Russia, approximately 4-8% of the total amount goes for recycling household waste. In total, there are only 243 waste recycling plants operating in the country. For comparison, in the United States the share of waste that is recycled is 34%. And in small Sweden, only 4% of waste ends up in landfills, and the rest is recycled and reused.

At the same time, enterprises do not yet have tax benefits that they could receive for introducing waste-free production and waste recycling technologies. The legislative framework in the field of “ecological” industry, in many respects it is still just being formed, so the collection and disposal of waste is mostly the work of enthusiasts, but not large companies and entrepreneurs.

On the other hand, you can find a lot of tips on the Internet on how to make money from recyclable materials. Usually this means purchasing recyclable materials from the population, without processing the collected waste, but with the development of the enterprise, the question usually arises of expanding the scope of activity. Also on the market there are many fairly inexpensive installations and lines for working with secondary materials and their recycling. So the eco-business of waste recycling will develop at a significant pace in the coming years, especially with support from the state.

How to make money from recyclable materials

Recycling waste usually requires considerable expenses for the purchase of equipment and specific knowledge, so most often “ garbage business» is limited to the purchase of recyclable materials from the population and its resale to processing plants. Most often this is glass and broken glass, waste paper, scrap metal, and the most profitable is considered to be metal, because the cost of such recyclable materials is much higher.

To organize a collection point according to the law, it is necessary to register a company or individual entrepreneur (unless the owner plans to further expand the business and reach large volumes).

You will also need a room for storing collected waste - if we're talking about about metal or glass, then an ordinary garage, which can be rented or bought, is suitable as a warehouse. The room for storing waste paper must be dry and relatively clean; permission from the fire department may also be necessary, since paper is a very flammable material.

A warehouse for collecting recyclable materials must be equipped with scales in order to determine the cost of accepted waste by weight. Another necessary condition is the availability of a truck for transporting waste.

And the most important thing, without which it is impossible to open a collection point for recyclable materials, is a sales market. The entrepreneur will have to enter into an agreement with a waste processing company or plant.

It is worth remembering that such a business does not bring instant profit and is not highly profitable, but over time, the acceptance and purchase of recyclable materials from the population often “grows” into a small processing industry. Having opened a waste collection point, its owner sooner or later studies market needs and sales opportunities, and then decides to expand his enterprise.

It should be taken into account that working with some types of waste requires obtaining a license, training of employees and quite expensive equipment.

Examples of how you can start or develop a “garbage business” are easily found on the Internet, because in recent years this direction has become quite popular among entrepreneurs.

Conclusion

Recycling waste is a “dirty” activity, but certainly useful for both the economy and the environment. The West has long understood that waste-free production, which uses already used materials, is much cheaper and allows you to make final product more accessible to the consumer.

Therefore, waste recycling in the near future will remain one of the most pressing tasks in all civilized countries. Our country still lags behind world indicators for reuse waste, but it can be predicted that this lag will not last long.

When we talk about recycled materials, we are usually talking about material resources that can be reused. This may be consumer or production waste that occurs in national economy. It is important to understand that not all waste can become secondary raw materials and not all recycled materials are used products.

The classification of secondary raw materials is clear and simple. Conventionally, it can be divided into several separate groups:

1. Secondary raw materials, which can be used as a complete or partial replacement for primary raw materials.

2. Waste acting as a starting product for the production of primary raw materials.

3. Waste in the form of used raw materials, which during the processing process can be used in a fundamentally new technological cycle.

4. Waste that serves as a source for ore raw materials and the extraction of various metals.

Waste paper as secondary raw material

Recycled materials such as old newspapers, notebooks, magazines, books, cardboard boxes, packaging and much more are usually called waste paper. Waste paper used as recyclable material is usually used to make insulation, roofing, packaging materials, and paper. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in paper production waste paper takes up 40% of the raw materials, since cellulose and wood are more expensive materials in this type of business.

Types of waste paper (what kind it is)

On the territory of the Russian Federation, enterprises that collect and process secondary raw materials accept unsorted waste paper. Only later will it be sorted taking into account the type and brand of waste paper. The highest quality waste paper is considered to be grade “A” waste paper. Waste paper of lower quality will be considered waste of classes “B” and “C”.

Waste paper recycling technology

Recycling waste paper has certain difficulties and, as a rule, is carried out using wet technology. Processing is carried out in several stages.

1. Dissolution of waste paper

Dissolution of waste paper into individual fibers produced in a humid environment in special equipment called pulpers. Certain hydromechanical forces make it possible to completely shred waste paper into individual pieces and then into fibers.

2. The waste paper mass is completely cleared of foreign impurities

The waste paper mass, which after dissolution turns into a suspension, is passed through a sieve in a pulper. After this, all coarse inclusions in the waste paper mass and heavy impurities are removed from it. At the same time, light impurities can be pulled out in the form of a rope.

3. Removal of waste paper and its fine cleaning

Purified waste paper pulp may contain plant fibers, and not just pieces of waste paper. That is why it is sent for subsequent final release, where even more fine cleaning will be carried out.

What is produced from waste paper?

There are a huge number of products in the world made from collected waste paper. We will try to list their most popular types.

1. Ecowool. Today, ecowool is not often used in production and construction, since the current production of this product is too small. Nevertheless, in the future this particular material will be in demand in the construction market, in the world of thermal insulation materials.

2. Paper fiber boards. Such slabs are often used during construction and repair work on interior decoration of rooms. They are slabs of carefully dried, compressed waste paper.

3. Roofing materials made from waste paper are environmentally friendly and inexpensive materials. This direction in the construction market is only gaining momentum, but has serious prospects for its development in the future.

4. Packaging materials are the most popular products obtained in the process of recycling waste paper. It is packaging examples that are considered the most a clear example saving quite valuable and environmentally important raw materials.

With proper collection of waste paper and its adequate use on packaging materials, a considerable amount of wood is saved. Every year, through the production of packaging materials (cardboard boxes, paper and corrugated cardboard packaging, paper wrappers, etc.), up to one and a half thousand hectares of forest can be saved. By the way, microcorrugated cardboard packaging, which has virtually no disadvantages, is made from waste paper by simple mechanical processing of recycled materials in warm water.

Corrugated cardboard packaging has certain advantages due to its low weight and good strength. When using cardboard with corrugated paper, the resistance of such packaging to tearing increases several times both across and along the sheet.

5. Office paper. In the printing industry this direction waste paper recycling plays a particularly important role important role because it allows for significant savings.

Ecology and waste paper

The huge amount of paper that is thrown away every day from offices, shops, and homes can be used for environmental benefit. As a result of the development of recycling of secondary raw materials and its proper use, we can save a huge number of trees. For statistics: by recycling only 1 ton of waste paper, we protect about 10 trees, and also save more than 20 thousand liters of water, thousands of kilowatts of electricity, protect environment from the emission of 1700 kg of carbon dioxide!

The collection and subsequent processing of waste paper makes it possible to open up more and more new opportunities for using unnecessary paper and paper raw materials, saving a lot of resources and money.
