Erema recycling systems for irrigation pipes

With a view to the circularity of plastic waste in the irrigation sector, Erema helps to recycle the production waste of LLDPE pipes.

The systems involve the recovery of irrigation pipe processing waste through the grinding and granulation of low density PE pipes.

According to Erema, the system was designed by its Pure Loop brand and can handle materials such as drip tubing and irrigation tubing that accumulate as waste during product manufacturing or are discarded during quality checks.

Erema declares that this technology allows the reuse of waste, in the form of granules, which come from production, in a mixture with the virgin PE material without suffering a decrease in quality.

According to Erema, the recycling concept created by Pure Loop "has already been adopted by irrigation system manufacturers in the United States, Israel, Italy and Mexico."

The company adds: “They operate recycling plants with flow rates of 100 to 500 kilograms per hour and reuse the recycled pellets produced in proportions of up to 20 percent in the production process.
