System Overview
A Complete Plant Defined by the Project
For projects that do not fit a standard package: multiple material streams, staged expansion, specific site limits or an unusual output specification. Plant-level engineering based on your waste stream, production target, site conditions and project scope.
-
01 When is a customized plant the right choice?
When your stream, output or site does not fit a standard configuration, or when the project has to be built in phases.
-
02 How is the project scoped?
It starts from the material and production target. The process route, equipment scope, layout and delivery plan are then defined together as one project.
-
03 What does the scope typically cover?
Process design, equipment selection, layout and utility planning, manufacturing, factory testing, installation, commissioning and operator training.
- Input
- One or several waste streams
- Main Function
- Plant-level process design and equipment scope
- Output
- Defined by the project and the target product
- Next Step
- Phased construction or full plant delivery
Input & Output
Input Conditions, Process and Target Output
-
Input Input Conditions
The line is configured around the actual condition of the incoming material.
- Waste stream composition and volume
- Contamination profile and variability
- Production target and product specification
- Site conditions, utilities and project phasing
-
Process Process Route
The main stages that turn the incoming material into the target output.

-
Output Target Output
A complete recycling plant configured for your operation, with the process route, equipment scope and delivery plan defined as one project.
- Verified through factory testing before shipment
- Documented for handover and operator training
- Confirmed against the agreed project scope
Specific capacity, moisture and purity figures are confirmed per project.
Complete Line Layout
How the Customized Recycling Plants Is Arranged
The line is engineered as one layout: material flow, machine positions and utility routes are defined together before manufacturing starts.
Layout drawings are shown for reference; the final arrangement is engineered per project.
Complete Process Flow
How a Customized Plant Is Engineered
Every project follows the same engineering sequence, but the content of each stage is defined by your project.
- 01 Requirement Analysis
- 02 Process Design
- 03 Layout & Utilities
- 04 Equipment Scope
- 05 Manufacturing
- 06 Factory Test

Process Design
Route definition based on material, contamination and target output.
Equipment Selection
Machines and modules chosen for the specific duty rather than a standard package.
Layout Engineering
Plant layout, material flow and utility planning as one drawing set.
Automation & Control
Control concept covering the whole plant and its interfaces.
Delivery Planning
Manufacturing, testing, shipping and site work sequenced as one schedule.
Machines in This System
The Individual Machines in the Line
Each unit below is built for one duty in the line rather than sold as a stand-alone machine.

Different Streams Require Different Plant Routes
The plant route is defined by the stream, the target product and the site rather than by a standard configuration.
| Material | Main Challenge | Process Focus | Possible Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixed Plastic Waste | Variable composition and dirt | Sorting, washing and separation before conversion | Defined per project |
| Post-Consumer Waste | Mixed collection feedstock and contamination | Sorting, washing and density separation | Clean flakes or pellets |
| Post-Industrial Scrap | Consistent material with low contamination | Direct processing with filtration | Consistent recycled pellets |
| Specialty Polymers | Engineering plastics and streams needing sorting | Process route and equipment selected per polymer | Defined per project |

Frequently Asked Questions
Customized Recycling Plant FAQs
When is a customized plant the right choice?
When your stream, output or site does not fit a standard configuration, or when the project has to be built in phases.
How is the project scoped?
It starts from the material and production target, then the process route, equipment scope, layout and delivery plan are defined together.
Can the plant be expanded later?
Yes. Phased designs are common, with layout and utilities planned from the start for later capacity.
What should I send before quotation?
Stream composition, contamination profile, production target, site conditions and the intended project phases.
Who coordinates the different suppliers and sections?
Retech coordinates the process route, equipment scope and delivery plan as one project responsibility, including the interfaces between sections.
Which documents are handed over?
Layout drawings, foundation and utility requirements, inspection and acceptance records, and operator documentation are agreed as part of the project scope.
