QRenew says the plant is the “missing link” in Australia’s soft plastics recycling infrastructure. It says the processed material is transformed into high-grade feedstock that can be used by chemical and mechanical processors and will enable growth of this market in Australia. Other grades of feedstock, iQRenew says, can be used for making recycled pellets for use in manufacturing plastic products such as non-food grade films, construction and agricultural products and other plastic items.
