When cold currents carry plastic waste to Chile's 10,000-kilometer golden coastline, when 90% of seabirds have plastic debris in their stomachs, and when the plastic recycling rate of 10.3% in 2024 still fails to match the annual consumption volume of 1.23 million tons, a green revolution about resource recycling is quietly taking root in South America. Today, the intelligent plastic recycling production line produced by Jinan Morinte Machinery is officially dispatched to Chile, injecting strong impetus into Chile's efforts to break the plastic pollution deadlock and activate new momentum in the circular economy with the hard-core strength of "Made in China".
The plastic recycling industry in Chile is at a critical juncture driven by policy and market upgrading. The implementation of the REP and PUSU acts has led to a 30% increase in recycling capacity, but the 30% equipment idleness rate and a 33% year-on-year decline in PET recycling volume have exposed the industry's pain points of "insufficient raw material supply, high operating costs, and strict environmental standards". Moreover, the full implementation of the plastic bag ban in coastal areas has made efficient recycling equipment a market necessity.The intelligent plastic recycling production line dispatched by Jinan Morinte Machinery Co., Ltd. this time is specifically tailored for the Chilean market: It addresses the issue of high proportions of industrial and commercial plastic waste, easily solving the problem of mixed waste treatment, and effectively offsetting the high energy cost pressure in Chile.
Chile, as a pioneer in the plastic recycling industry in South America, achieved a remarkable 19% increase in plastic recycling volume in 2024, demonstrating the huge potential of the market. The shipment of this intelligent plastic recycling production line is not only an important milestone in the environmental protection technology cooperation between China and Chile, but also marks that China's recycling equipment, with its core advantages of "high cost-effectiveness, strong adaptability, and full-cycle service", has deeply integrated into the South American market.We will offer a 48-hour rapid response service covering equipment installation and commissioning, operator training, and after-sales maintenance, ensuring that the production line can be put into use immediately and operate stably. This not only enhances our market competitiveness but also provides a solid foundation for Chile to achieve the goal of "Zero Plastic Waste along the Coast by 2030".
When the intelligent production line roars into operation on the land of Chile, and when recycled particles are transformed into various daily necessities, a green cooperation spanning the Pacific Ocean is writing a new chapter. Chinese manufacturing will continue to use technological innovation as its brush and environmental responsibility as its ink, working hand in hand with Chile to draw a beautiful blueprint for resource recycling, allowing the blue dreams of the South American coast to continue to bloom forever!
