Extrusion line for the recycling of obsolete and damaged plastic sheets to repurpose as trays for the sustainable packaging industry

准确的安全制造有限公司制造了许多产品，包括安全边缘保护，防止从高处坠落，不锈钢生长手推车，以及一个模具车间，从我们的热成型机制造塑料模压托盘。我们有一个现有的客户在不断增长的行业蘑菇包装，已承诺使用我们的托盘模具制造解决方案的长期。作为一家公司，我们希望在2023年底之前实现净零排放，我们有很多方法来实现这一目标，这个项目将极大地帮助我们实现这一目标。我们将使用现有客户的过时和损坏的塑料模具作为新的颗粒挤出生产线的原材料，将循环经济带入我们的业务和我们的客户。这将从我们现有的客户MMC开始，但我们将把这项服务扩展到其他行业。**主要目标**目前，我们使用预先切割的板材制造这些托盘，这些板材运输成本高，需要切割，因此有废弃的塑料，最终将被填埋或焚烧。我们的项目计划是实施一个流程，将使用过的塑料托盘重新用作新产品，成本大幅降低，这将使我们能够通过增加销售和提高利润率来显著扩大业务规模。再利用废弃塑料作为原材料。通过使用颗粒而不是现成的板材来降低原材料成本。实施一条挤出生产线，生产新的定制尺寸的ABS/HIPS板材。这将减少浪费和对环境的影响。扩大经营规模，提高销售和盈利能力。引导新客户和新行业。**创新**我们计划通过手机或平板电脑等便携式设备利用增强现实和人工智能检查来提高生产力，减少浪费，从而减少能源消耗。使用预先通知的AI和便携式AR的组合，我们的目标是在生产开始之前对所有工具进行在线检查，在任何制造开始之前进行故障检查。我们还将围绕这种增强现实技术和我们在提供新的菌丝体包装技术行业中的独特用途填充IP。

Accurate Safety Manufacturing Ltd fabricates a number of products including safety edge protection, to prevent falls from height, stainless steel growing trolleys, along with a tooling shop to manufacture plastics moulded trays from our thermoforming machine. We have an existing client in the growing industry of Mushroom packaging which has committed to using our tray mould manufacturing solution for the long term.We wish to achieve Net Zero as a company by end of 2023, we have a number of ways we want to achieve this and this project would significantly help us on our journey. We will use obsolete and damaged plastic moulds from our current clients as raw material for a new granulated extrusion sheet line, bringing the circular economy into both our business and that of our clients. This will be initiated with our existing customer MMC but we will extend this service across other industries.**Key Objectives**Currently, we manufacture these trays using pre-cut sheets which are expensive to transport and require cutting so there is wasted plastic, which will either end up in landfill or be incinerated. Our project plan is to implement a process where we repurpose the used plastics trays as a new product, with a new dramatically lower cost which will allow us to significantly scale our operations through increased sales and higher profit margins.**Focus**1. Reusing obsolete plastics as a raw material2. Reducing raw materials costs by taking the process as a step back by using granules rather than ready-made sheets.3. Implementation of an extrusion line producing new bespoke sizes of a new ABS/HIPS sheet. This will reduce waste and our environmental impacts.4. Scaling of the operation to improve sales and profitability.5. Onboarding new clients and industries.**Innovation**We are planning to increase productivity and reduce waste and therefore energy usage by utilizing augmented reality and AI checking via a portable device, such as a phone or tablet.Using a combination of pre-informed AI, and portable AR, we aim to perform in-line checking of all tooling, prior to production starting, virtually faulty checking before any manufacturing commences.We will also be filling IP around this AR technology and our unique use in supplying a new Mycelium packaging technology industry.
