How a Plastic IBC Tote is Shredded for Recycling

In the video, workers are recycling a large blue IBC tote. The plastic container is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). One worker lifts the empty tote into a high feed opening. Another helper uses a tool to push it into the industrial shredder. Inside the machine, the plastic is torn into small flakes. These flakes will be washed, melted, and reformed into plastic pellets. This recycled material becomes the raw material for manufacturing new products. Common examples include plastic lumber for park benches, heavy-duty pallets, construction pipes, and even new IBC totes. This process is a key step in the circular economy, giving plastic a new life and reducing waste.
