At ZAOGE, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable manufacturing. The power cord injection moulding processes, pivotal to producing high-quality power cord, also generate a byproduct known as sprue waste. This waste, primarily composed of the same high-grade plastics as our products, such as PVC, PP and PE, represents both a challenge and an opportunity for environmental stewardship.
Understanding Sprue Waste
During injection moulding, molten plastic is channelled through sprues and runners into mould cavities to form parts. The resultant sprue waste is the excess that solidifies in these channels, a necessary part of our manufacturing but not of the final product. Historically, this leftover material might have been viewed as mere waste; however, at ZAOGE, we see it as a resource awaiting a second life.
Innovative Recycling Solutions (plastic shredder, plastic crusher, plastic grinder, and plastic granulator)
By crushing sprue waste into uniform plastic particles, or shredding and reprocessing sprue waste into plastic pellets,we reintroduce them into the manufacturing cycle, reducing our raw material costs and environmental footprint. This process supports our sustainability goals and aligns with global efforts to enhance circular economies within industries.We take our responsibility to the environment seriously. Approximately 95% of our sprue waste is recycled, it can reduce the amount of plastic sent to landfills.
The Environmental Impact
Each year, the injection moulding industry produces significant amounts of sprue waste, which, if not properly managed, can increase landfill volumes and environmental degradation.
Our goal at ZAOGE is to confront this challenge head-on by implementing innovative recycling technologies that convert waste into reusable raw materials.
Benefits of Recycling
We are witnessing a growing demand from our customers for products made with recycled raw materials. This shift not only underscores the environmental benefits of recycling sprue waste but also brings significant economic advantages. By integrating recycled materials, we optimise resource use, reduce production costs and lower waste disposal fees. In addition to our recycling efforts, we are further minimising our environmental impact through the use of renewable energy sources.
