Growing interest in the organization own business has been observed for more than one year. At the same time, most individuals and huge companies are increasingly paying tribute to environmental protection in order to preserve their health and the future of the planet.

That is why one of the most popular ideas is the recycling of PET bottles.

Since any projects that help improve the living conditions of people are at the peak of popularity, bottle recycling is actual business idea... Taking into account the fact that so far practically no one is doing this in our country, we can conclude that any novice entrepreneur has a chance to gain a foothold in the industry and start earning decent money.

However, this kind of business has its drawbacks, which in fact can be seen as obstacles to successful implementation ideas:

  • Difficulties in opening... Since this area is poorly regulated by law, the preparation of the documentation itself is a rather complicated process. In addition, you need to obtain a large number permissions from all sorts of structures. As a result, the entire process can take from 5 to 8 months (which is quite long compared to other activities).
  • The complexity of establishing a fairly stable supply of raw materials... In order to really make money in the processing industry, it is necessary to set up the process so that raw materials are constantly available. On the other hand, a problem of a different nature stands out here - it is not always clear where the processed products can be sold.
  • High dependence on manual labor... In all situations when a business depends on this type of work, it is necessary to organize employees in such a way that they form a friendly team - otherwise, the effectiveness of activities will tend to zero. The construction of a motivation system can simplify the solution of this problem.

At the same time, the advantages of this business cover all possible disadvantages... So, among them stand out:

  • High profitability... The profit-to-revenue ratio will be about 25%, which is significantly higher than in other areas.
  • Loyal attitude of people to such activities... If many companies have a controversial image among the population, then a bottle recycler will definitely be respected among the residents. This can guarantee some kind of support from their side.
  • Environmental projects in currently simpler receive support from government and local authorities.
  • Many companies strive to be socially responsible and in some way protect the environment... At the same time, they often do not want to do this, because if this is not their main profile, it can be extremely disadvantageous from an economic point of view and negatively affect efficiency. Therefore, they prefer to invest in projects of this kind.

Processing technology

The technology is carried out in this way:

  1. First, the collection of plastic PET bottles is carried out.
  2. Then you need to sort by class. Most often, it is made on an unpainted group and a colored one, within which an additional sorting by color is performed. Each subgroup will be processed separately. Also a separate category is PVC bottles, which must be recycled in a special way.
  3. After that, in each group, there is a manual removal of rubber, paper, metal, etc.
  4. The next step is to squeeze the bottles. When they become compressed, they need to be loaded onto a container recycling line.
  5. The result is a flake-like flex. Flex is a raw material either for making the same bottles, or for chemical fiber, from which many goods are made, among which packing tape, paving slabs, films, etc. stand out.

It is important to understand that the recycling process automatically removes labels and caps and crushes the bottles. Then the fragments are placed in a special boiler, where the remaining foreign elements are washed off with water. Finally, the cleaned plastic is further cleaned and dried. It should be stored in a dedicated bunker.

Necessary equipment

There are two options for organizing this kind of business:

  • First, it can be mobile plant on recycling that fits into a truck. This idea is most profitable if the entrepreneur plans to serve several small towns at once through his project.
  • The second case is lease of a building for a processing workshop... The cost of equipment for a fully completed line can be 3-4 million rubles th. You will need:
    • Belt conveyors;
    • Rotary machine;
    • The so-called "crusher" is an apparatus for crushing bottles;
    • Screw conveyor;
    • Steam boiler;
    • Polishing machine;
    • Dryer-water separator;
    • Air dryer;
    • Storage bins.

It is important to understand that the cost of a mobile plant will be higher and will be about 5-6 million rubles... As for the stationary option, a large area will be required - at least 2000 sq. M. Accordingly, for these purposes, abandoned factories or warehouses closer to the outskirts of the city are best suited so that the price for the premises does not turn out to be fabulous. Alternatively, you can buy a large plot of land and build a hangar yourself (however, this will cost significantly more).

Ideally, produce not only flex, but also fiber, since in this case profit and profitability will significantly increase. However, this will require more higher level investments, and a novice entrepreneur should do this only after the initial investments pay off and begin to bring a stable income.

Obtaining raw materials for processing bottles

In order to successfully organize a business, it is more expedient to open a plant in big city so that transportation costs are minimal, since bottles are a very light product, which at the same time takes up a fairly large amount of space - accordingly, long-distance transportation will reduce profitability. Alternatively, the location can be equidistant from several large cities.

Raw materials are collected by hand at landfills in various parts of the country. Essentially, in these landfills, bottles are collected by hand in bags, then pressed and delivered directly to the plant.

In addition, you can search for raw materials via the Internet. There are many sites where advertisements for the sale or purchase are posted. plastic bottles... The main task in this case is to offer more favorable conditions than potential competitors: services of this kind operate on the principle of conventional auctions.

You can find a direct supplier of PET bottle waste. This method is often the cheapest. It is necessary to find manufacturing or trading companies that produce large volumes of this kind of waste (in particular, these can be the offices of companies that produce drinks, since in most of them the use of all products is free for employees: accordingly, the level of consumption is very high).

Total costs of setting up a business

First of all, you need to understand that organizing such a business will require a large number of workers, since many operations will be performed with the help of manual labor. The minimum number of workers will be 10 people... Moreover, their salary for this moment on average is about 20 thousand rubles... However, it is important not to forget about the motivation system: as a result, salary costs will be slightly higher.

When calculating, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the work schedule of employees should be in shifts.

The purchase of a ton of bottles, taking into account transport costs, will take about 10-15 thousand rubles(primarily, depending on the purchase price). Interestingly, the price depends not only on who is buying from, but also on the type of raw material: for example, brown plastic is the cheapest (its scope is rather narrow), while transparent, on the contrary, is considered the most expensive.

The costs also need to take into account the cost of electricity and consumed water. Cost of one ton finished products may vary from 40 to 90 thousand rubles... It depends on the size of the granules, their technical characteristics as well as colors.

Sales of products

In order to make money on this kind of production, it is necessary to competently establish a sales system. First, a non-fiber company can be marketed to other similar processors with a more complete technological cycle. In this case, the price per ton will be slightly lower than the market price, but at the same time the enterprise will have constant demand.

In addition, some organizations are only engaged in the production of fiber from ready-made flex. There are only a few such enterprises in Russia, but their volumes are very large, so this will guarantee stable profits. You can use the platform to find buyers for recycled plastic - place an ad and wait for responses.

Calculation of profitability and payback period

The payback period for such a project will be about 1.5-2 years due to the need to invest a large amount of investment at the initial stage. The plus is the fact that the costs for an organized processing process are quite low. Therefore, with a revenue of 800 thousand rubles per month, the profit will be about 200-300 thousand rubles, depending on the processed raw materials and other factors.

Thus, a business focused on improving the environmental situation can be profitable and generate a consistently high level of income. Bottle recycling is a promising niche in which a small number of companies operate, so market glut will not threaten the industry for many years to come.

Video material about the organization of production

In the video you can watch the production line and processing technology:

"Made from recycled plastic." Such inscriptions are found on a wide variety of products - cans, combs, even children's toys. In the civilized world, plastic recycling technologies have already gone far - and they allow recycling PET plastic bottles not only into basins, but also ... into exactly the same plastic bottles. Today, there is only one bottle-to-bottle plant in Russia. Let's see how this production works.

The Plarus plant was opened in 2007 on the outskirts of Solnechnogorsk near Moscow.

Today 1800-2500 tons of plastic bottles are processed here per month. At the entrance - dirty used bottles, at the exit - clean raw materials for the production of new ones.

The collection of raw materials is carried out at sorting stations and landfills for household waste.

Some of the raw materials come from hundreds of special containers for bottles installed by the plant in Solnechnogorsk, but this is just a drop in the bucket.

In Russia, they are not accustomed to the fact that garbage can cost money, and its separate collection is not developed (the share of "cutting" at the plant is no more than 1%). The plant buys some of the bottles from fitness clubs and hotels, but this does not make the difference either. The main source of raw materials is ordinary landfills from all over the country (they even bring it from the Urals), where the garbage is sorted by hand, bottles are extracted from it, after which it is packed and sold to the plant. 300-kilogram bales of dirty pressed bottles are brought to the territory of the plant, where they are waiting in the wings.

The first workshop is busy with the selection and sorting of bottles. All equipment of the enterprise is European, from the leaders of the solid waste processing industry - BRT Recycling Technologie GmbH (Germany), TOMRA Systems ASA (Germany), RTT Steinert GmbH (Germany), BOA (Holland), SOREMA (Italy), BUHLER AG (Switzerland).

The bales are loaded into the bins of the sorting lines, after which they are unpacked and sorted.

By and large, the plant could work automatically, but in Russian realities this is impossible. Automatic lines are able to distinguish and arrange bottles by color, but as in Europe, where plastic is recycled in its pure form, this does not work for us - due to the very strong contamination of raw materials, the help of a person is needed, and more than one.

Several teams of workers manually sort bottles, cut labels, throw out trash and containers that cannot be recycled - for example, completely wrapped in heat-shrinkable plastic, with foreign objects inside or in a non-standard color. Only blue, brown, colorless and green bottles are suitable for recycling. The latter, by the way, are the least popular with customers.

The bottles sorted by color are again pressed into bales and transported outside - to the warehouse, where they are awaiting delivery to the second workshop.

In the next workshop, everything starts with unpacking the "sorted" bales,

after which the bottles are sent to the sink.

Here the container is "erased" first in cold water, then in hot, then in an alkaline solution and a special detergent.

The bottle is washed from the outside, the glue with which the label was glued dissolves. After a series of washes - another post for manual sorting and magnetic metal separation.

The next stage is crushing. The bottles are crushed together with the corks, after which the resulting flakes undergo a thorough cleaning procedure again. In a special drum filled with liquid, the bottle plastic is separated from the cork plastic. Their density is different, and cork flakes float to the surface.

Bottle flakes undergo a final inductive metal separation procedure, after which a special computer machine selects defective flakes of a different color.

Then some of the products are packed in 2-meter soft containers, the so-called Big-Bag. Flex is an excellent raw material for the manufacture of various household goods, building materials and even ... fleece fabric!

Before starting further production, a sample of the obtained flakes is taken, which is sent to a chemical laboratory for various tests.

After that, the flakes are fed by pneumatic conveyor to the third workshop - on the extrusion and granulation line. The process is fully automated.

The process in the third workshop consists of several stages. First, re-metal separation, then pre-heating, removal of acetaldehyde and other harmful impurities, filtration. First, the flakes are cut in a grinder, after which the flex is melted at a temperature of 280 degrees Celsius.

A special machine - a die extrudes thin threads (strands) from the melted and refined plastic, which are dried and cut into granules.

The amorphous granulate is transported for crystallization and then enters the reactor.

After 16 hours of polycondensation in the reactor, under the influence of nitrogen and high temperature, the amorphous granulate turns into the final raw material - high-viscosity PET granulate for the production of PET bottles.

Each batch of products is re-controlled - the resulting granules are carefully examined by specialists.

The finished product is packed in large bags and then sent to customers.

The granulate is approved for use in food packaging according to the expert opinion of the Federal Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of the Moscow Region." the Coca-Cola company.

The plant, which employs 150 people, can produce up to 10 thousand tons of finished products per year, but the current volume is less. The reason is the lack of raw materials ... That is why one of the organizers of tours to the Plarus plant is the organization ... GreenPeace. Environmentalists welcome separate collection waste and plastic recycling - this process is three times less harmful to the planet than conventional plastic production.

Serious reason to think!

In everyday life, plastic products have taken root quite tightly. And today, few people think about their environmental friendliness or safety, because the main advantage of plastic over other, non-synthetic materials is its practicality and low cost. Dishes, containers, structural elements, signs and signs, and even old children's toys are the areas where plastic predominates. And in most cases one route awaits it - a landfill, although it can also be used as a secondary raw material. And this is perhaps the optimal solution for plastic, since it has a colossal decay period by human standards - 150-200 years, and when burned, it releases toxic substances that have a detrimental effect not only on humans, but also on the entire environment.

It is estimated that from one kilogram of plastic waste, 800 g of secondary raw materials are obtained. In this way, secondary use This material makes it possible to solve two problems at once - its safe disposal and saving resources for further production.

Types of plastic waste

Currently, only a few are concerned about where in Moscow to hand over plastic. And there are not so many organizations themselves dealing with this type of recyclable materials. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find a plastic collection point, and even more so when it comes about a few kilograms of this material. But companies that handle this kind of waste are eager to buy plastic products of the following brands:

  • Secondary LDPE (polyethylene high pressure) - packaging film, shrink film, air bubble film, etc.;
  • Secondary stretch film (from pallet packing);
  • Polypropylene film;
  • Plastic boxes (wine and vodka, vegetables, meat, etc.);
  • Plastic products from HDPE (polyethylene low pressure) and PP (polypropylene) - basins, chairs, tubes, sleeves, lids, etc.

At the same time, all waste is pre-sorted by quality, color, degree of pollution, and only then paid according to the established tariffs. Also, with large volumes of waste, companies provide services for loading and removing recyclable materials.

An approximate calculation of costs and the amount of possible profit

Insofar as final product has sufficient demand in the market for recyclable materials, the business seems to be quite profitable. The result of your work has a high enough value to pay back all the costs incurred with interest. In addition, you will not have any problems with the sale of the finished product. The receipt of net income from the enterprise should come in about a year, when you have already established all the necessary connections with the buyers.

Now let's calculate the approximate amount of expenses:

The cost of obtaining raw materials. Multiplying 300 packages by 10,000 rubles, we get 3 million rubles.
Wage employees, including payment of weekends, holidays, vacations, sick leave, as well as the possible costs of providing them with food and transportation costs. Payment for health insurance for own employees is also included in total amount... All of the above will cost a total of 300 thousand rubles.

Since all the equipment consumes quite a lot of energy, the cost of electricity will be about 800 thousand rubles.

You will also need to pay your rent on time.

Do not forget to add a reserve amount for possible incidental expenses to the general calculations. For example, equipment breakdown, downtime, building renovation.

And also include the sum of all mandatory taxes and insurance costs.

It is not at all necessary to spend a lot of time to hand over unnecessary plastic bottles in Moscow. The company "MOSVTORMA" will provide self-pickup of raw materials and delivery to the processing point, paying you a monetary reward!

One of the ways to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment is rational use resources and recycling. Plastic PET bottles are a cheap and practical way to pack drinks and water, but they cause serious damage to the environment. Once in nature, plastic decomposes for about 300 years, and tons of such garbage are thrown away every day!

Contribute to protection environment any person can do it. To do this, it is enough to cooperate with companies that carry out waste processing and hand over 5 liter or other plastic bottles for recycling. The enterprise "MOSVTORMA" is engaged in the utilization and processing of raw materials subject to reuse... Our conditions for accepting plastic bottles are very convenient, and the price for recyclable materials in Moscow is favorable!

Features of PET bottles

The material for the production of plastic containers is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Such packaging is considered safe for food products. Compared to glass, a plastic bottle has more advantages:

  • weight about 28 g (glass weighs 350 g);
  • it is a strong and lightweight container, its damage during transportation is excluded;
  • equipment for the production of PET containers is easy to install directly in the production of beer or other drinks.

Reception of PET bottles for recycling helps to avoid contamination of soil, water bodies and long-term decomposition of raw materials.

Delivery by transport in Moscow and the Moscow region

Loading capacity 1500 kg. Loading capacity 1500 kg. Loading capacity 5000 kg. Loading capacity 1500 kg. Carrying capacity 20,000 kg.
from 2,000 rubles from 2,000 rubles from 5000 rubles from 7,000 rubles from 13,000 rubles

The cost of payment upon admission - what does it depend on and how is it calculated?

  1. The price of accepting plastic bottles depends on their quantity. The larger the batch of delivered raw materials, the more expensive it will be. You can return pressed PET bottles from us.
  2. Pollution Degree - Clean bottles also cost more.
  3. Pre-sorting of raw materials before delivery - the price for receiving plastic bottles is higher if they are sorted by color.

How is the reception carried out

  1. Self-delivery to a collection point in Moscow is ideal for small consignments of raw materials.
  2. Self-pickup by MOSVTORMA specialists is a convenient way, when the client chooses the date and time of pickup.
