About Plastic Manufacturing & Processing
Materials are usually made in large quantities in continuous production plants that transform multiple feed stock materials into a compounded material for use in other facilities to produce end products. These processes and equipment may be used to manage the color and/or the physical properties of the materials. Similar processes are used to sort and recycle these same materials into a useful form.
