Plastic Shredding for Plastic Lumps & Bulky Materials
Many recyclable industrial plastics require plastic shredding as a necessary first step before entering the recycling process.
Everloop Plastic offers industrial shredding services to prepare materials for granulation, extrusion, and pelletising.
Large components, solid lumps, thick-walled products, and bulky HDPE pipes must be reduced to manageable sizes before further recycling.
Our shredding process creates a consistent feedstock from production offcuts, rejects, plastic lumps, or oversized components, ensuring efficient processing throughout our recycling operation.
What is Plastic Shredding?
Plastic shredding is the initial size-reduction stage in mechanical plastic recycling.
Industrial shredding equipment breaks down bulky plastic waste into smaller pieces that can be safely processed in subsequent stages.
Shredding is essential for materials too large or dense for direct granulation. It protects downstream equipment, improves efficiency, and produces consistent material for recycling.
Materials Suitable for Plastic Shredding
We process a wide range of rigid industrial plastics, including:
- HDPE pipes
- Large plastic lumps
- Production rejects
- Injection moulded parts
- Thick-walled plastic components
- Plastic offcuts
- Plastics purge
Why Shredding Matters
Effective shredding offers several key benefits throughout the recycling process.
- Handles oversized plastic products
- Improves processing efficiency
- Protects downstream recycling equipment
- Creates consistent feed material
- Supports reliable recycled material quality
An Integrated Recycling Partner
Everloop Plastic delivers a complete recycling solution, not just standalone shredding services.
Materials received for shredding move directly to our granulation, extrusion, and pelletising processes, reducing handling and ensuring full batch traceability.
This provides manufacturers with a streamlined, efficient recycling solution from oversized plastic waste to manufacturing-ready recycled material.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you shred large HDPE pipes?
Yes. We process large, bulky HDPE and PP products that require shredding before recycling.
Why can't large plastic products go straight into granulation?
Granulators are designed for smaller, consistent material. Large pipes, plastic lumps, and bulky components typically require shredding first to protect equipment and improve efficiency.
Do you only provide shredding?
No. Shredding is part of Everloop Plastic’s complete mechanical recycling process, which also includes granulation, extrusion, and pelletising.
Can manufacturers send production waste for shredding?
Yes. We partner with manufacturers to process production scrap, rejects, and oversized recyclable plastic materials.
