CASE STUDY: How Cumberland Heavy Duty Granulators help Close the Loop at the World’s Largest Recycler

As a pioneer in plastics recycling with over 30 years of experience, KW Plastics has relied on Cumberland to develop successful methods to grind and reprocess high volumes of polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) curbside recycling products such as beverage containers, laundry detergent bottles, and more. To help reinforce the environmental benefits of recycling, Cumberland helped KW Plastics identify the average reduction of global warming potential (GWP) achieved through the recycling process vs. manufacturing of virgin resins. The net benefit of the process indicates a significant reduction of harmful CO2 released into the environment.
