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

精确安全制造有限公司制造了一些产品，包括安全边缘保护，以防止福尔斯从高处，不锈钢生长推车，沿着与模具车间制造塑料成型托盘从我们的热成型机。我们有一个现有的客户在不断增长的蘑菇包装行业，一直致力于长期使用我们的托盘模具制造解决方案。我们希望到2023年底实现净零作为一家公司，我们有很多方法来实现这一目标，这个项目将大大帮助我们的旅程。我们将使用现有客户的陈旧及损坏的塑料模具作为新造粒挤出片材生产线的原材料，将循环经济带入我们及客户的业务中。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，我们使用预切割板材生产这些托盘，运输成本高，需要切割，因此会产生浪费的塑料，最终将被填埋或焚烧。我们的项目计划是实施一个过程，我们将使用过的塑料托盘重新用作新产品，新的成本大大降低，这将使我们能够通过增加销售和提高利润率来显着扩大我们的业务。专注 **1.回收废弃塑料作为原材料2。通过使用颗粒而不是现成的片材，将该过程作为一个步骤来降低原材料成本。3.实施一条挤出生产线，生产新的定制尺寸的新ABS/HIPS片材。这将减少浪费和对环境的影响。4.扩大经营规模以提高销售额和盈利能力。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AI检查来提高生产率并减少浪费，从而减少能源使用。我们将预先通知的AI和便携式AR相结合，旨在在生产开始前对所有模具进行在线检查，在任何制造开始之前进行几乎错误的检查。我们还将围绕这种AR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.
