ACERETECH completes the largest plastics recycling project in Colombia

ACERETECH has once again broken history by completing the largest plastics recycling project in Colombia, which gives us even more confidence and support.

We spoke with the client in 2019, during which we learned that the client is the largest producer of packaging materials in Colombia and that his group has invested 15 billion pesos in a post-consumer recycling plant in Surai Oh due to government policy.

The customer's group receives 10,000 tonnes of waste plastic, which includes packaging for food bags, liquid bags, flexible packaging for household hygiene, napkins, kitchen paper, nappies, women's towels, soap, etc. Our machines can be used in all kinds of post-consumer shops and homes.

We recommended a complete pelletizing line to our customer based on his needs, which included a plastic crushing, washing and drying line as well as a complete water treatment unit.

Initially our project did not go very well and was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with a lot of perseverance and hard work from both of us, we finally completed trials and tests on materials such as greenhouse plastic and stretch film in August 2020.

Thanks to our tireless efforts, this plastic recycling line finally reached our customer at the end of 2020. At the same time, we also opened our local service in Colombia.

Before starting local service, our ACERETECH service staff arrived in Colombia after living in isolation for up to half a month. While our staff installed the machine, we also trained the customer's staff on the performance and operation of the machine, which eventually also met the customer's production requirements.

In the end, with the support of this customer, ACERETECH will go on to a better tomorrow.
