| Summary: | Due to the population growth, economic development, increasing the
consumption of products patterns in Indonesia and activities of citizen, MSW has
generated by 384 Indonesia cities was about 80,235 ton per day (or 320,940m3
per day). The plastics solid waste (PSW) become to the major concern after
organic waste and significantly impact to in environment. In order to solve the
problem this research is conducted to identify the potential raw material from
plastics, in order to replaces the pure material of plastics pellets that is made from
crude oil and minimize the effect bring to environment. This compendium is
presented the concept of the appropriation technology for plastics recycling, it
emphasize the typical method by converting plastics waste of thermoplastic type
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), High density polyethylene (HDPE), Low
density polyethylene (LDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) into plastics pellets.
Whereas thermoplastics chemical structure possible for recyclable , the
mechanical recycling method is played as the best technology and common
used in recycling of conventional plastic waste material into new raw material
without changing basic structure. The quality of pellets that reprocess from the
plastics waste is based on the effective factors of sorting, washing, drying and
temperature of melting in each zones of extruder machine.
