Today, Hengzheng Packaging, a professional plastic bottle cap manufacturer, comes to talk to you about some issues about plastic bottle caps.

1. Is there really something wrong with the metal cover?

Yes. Steel caps can damage the machine and aluminum caps can slow down production. They can cause contamination issues during the washing process as they sink into the PET material. Metal caps can also separate plastic bottles and containers from the MRF process The vortex step separates the plastic from the flow.

2. Do plastic recyclers need to remove bottle caps? Why the change?

There are 2 main reasons: 1. When recycling becomes easy, participation rates will increase. Manufacturers are committed to promoting participation in recycling programs. 2. Cap materials are recyclable.

3. Why should we deal with recyclable things?

In the past, the plastic recycling industry was unable to effectively recycle bottles with caps, thus creating a message to remove the caps. Recycling collection and processing technology has improved, and the demand for recyclable materials has increased, resulting in current restrictions on recycling information and processes.

4. Are recycled plastic bottle caps easy to sell?

Yes, plastic bottle caps are usually made of high-density polyethylene as well as polypropylene, both of which are in high demand in both domestic and export markets.

5. Caps are usually made of a different type of plastic than bottles. Do they have to be recycled separately?

No. While the seal can be made from a different material than the bottle, during the recycling process the bottle is ground into flakes. The washed cap material is then separated from the cap material in a process of floating and sinking in a water bath .PET will sink, PP and HDPE will float. These 2 materials are then recycled into new items.

6. Should the bottle and container be flat before replacing the cap?

Flattening bottles can lead to incorrect sorting and can also cause paper to flow. Keeping the 3D form helps with successful sorting of containers.

These are the problems that may arise during the production or recycling process of plastic bottle caps shared by plastic bottle cap manufacturers. For more product information, you can consult Anhui Hengzheng Packaging Technology Co., Ltd.
