Our company utilizes five plastic grinding lines, two plastic pulverizing lines, and several high-compression balers.

Our Nashville, Tennessee facility specializes in recycling synthetic textile waste in addition to plastic scrap. This facility recycles such materials as nylon, polyester, polypropylene as well as mixed and blended plastic fibers.Because of our wide market and vast capabilities, we can accept materials that many other recyclers can't handle. Some of these forms include textiles, plastic lumps, plastic chunks, plastic purges, plastic runners and sprues, plastic powder, floor sweepings and dust. We also specialize in recycling comingle plastics (mixed lumps, regrind and pellets), contaminated plastics (filled plastics containing glass and mineral fillers) and many other types of plastic scrap! Additionally, we also recycle plastic materials not directly produced from plastic manufacturing. These materials may include plastic bags, super sacks, plastic pallets, plastic trays and containers, shrink wrap, scrap dvds, plastic buckets and drums, and other plastic industrial materials.

Plastic Trader specializes in developing methods and providing machinery to help businesses through the United States recover valuable raw materials and save money through effective waste management.

Baling - Many materials such as plastic film and corrugated plastic cannot be disposed of efficiently due to the fact that these materials are light and bulky. Plastic Trader Enterprises can help companies that produce this type of scrap by providing baling systems that will drastically reduce the amount of space these scrap materials occupy, and make the disposal of the scrap much more cost effective.

Grinding - Many manufacturers are unable to reprocess the scrap plastic parts that can be recycled back into raw materials. Often, companies may be able to save thousands of dollars by regrinding their scrap plastic. Plastic Trader Enterprises' professional staff and state of the art grinding operation is fully equipped to handle even the largest toll grinding accounts.

Metal Separation - Metal contamination among plastic scrap can be a serious problem to many plastic manufacturers, especially those in the building material and automotive industry. Plastic Trader Enterprises has the equipment and experience needed to effectively separate metal from many forms of scrap plastic.

Pulverizing - Many plastic manufacturers are unable to use recycled materials in regrind or pellet form. Many extruders and other plastic companies require their materials to be pulverized into a powder form. We have incorporated two pulverizing lines at our facility in order to recycle regrind and other forms of scrap into a fine mesh powder. We have fine tuned and honed our process into an effective and efficient operation that allows us to provide clean, high quality recycled powder at very reasonable rates. We have focused the majority of our pulverizing operation on PVC, but are capable of pulverizing materials such as HDPE, LDPE, PP, and other thermoplastics as well.
