The SPP Series Closed Loop Recycling Plant is a high technology Mixed Waste Processing system that recovers and can convert up to 500 tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) per day into recyclable materials.

The Plant is divided into three operational phases to process mixed waste:
1) Pre-treatment uses automated mesh and magnetic separators to recover organic materials and scrap metals
2) Main Process uses an automated water processing system to separate and out put Clean Plastic Film (purity 99.8%), Recycle Paper Pulp, Organic Matter, Heavy Plastic material.
3) Recycle Material Processing convert to Plastic Pellets, Paper Pulp, Organic Beads, and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel).

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Currently, separation of MSW into recyclables and general waste is done prior to waste collection. Thus, only select, clean items are recycled, while the bulk of recoverable materials are disposed of as garbage in land fills or incinerators.

This method of waste management is detrimental to the environment and costly in terms of transportation and usage fees to incinerators and landfills. More over, the value that can be extracted from reusable materials is lost as general waste according to an EPA report; the production rate of MSW in 2005 was 4.5 pounds (2.04 KGs) per person per day, with a recycling rate of only 40%. This generates an excess of 1 kg approximately of MSW per person per day being sent to landfills or incinerators.

The bulk of this MSW can be recovered and recycled with the SPP-MSW series Mixed Waste Processing Plants.

EPA, Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: 2005 Facts and Figures

SPP Series is a fully automated plant that uses a perpetual water processing system to sanitize, separate, recover and reclaim the bulk of dirty waste into reusable materials. The circulating water is treated and cycled back into the system in a closed loop. Water and electricity usage are low, while emissions output is negligible.

Paper Waste is separated from non-paper products such as staples, plastic laminate, tape and then is processed into mixed paper pulp.

Organic Waste is recovered and processed into dehydrated organic pellets/beads. Styrofoam products and ferrous metals are recovered as recyclable polystyrene and scrap metal.

Plastic waste is recovered and separated into light plastic (PE, PP) and heavy plastic (PVC, PET, OPP). Light plastic is further processed into plastic film, while heavy plastic is processed into refuse derived fuel (RDF).

With the SPP-MSW Series, the environmental and economic impact of MSW disposal waste is considerably less than traditional methods, since only a fraction of the incoming waste is ultimately transported and disposed of through incineration or landfills.

SPP-MSW Plant Profit (Chinese Example)

The example is based on the Chinese plant. Obviously other countries would have a different MSW composition, pricing and costs.
