Paper-Plastic Separation Application

Paper Cup Recycling and Paper-Plastic Separation Solution

Separate valuable paper fibre from the plastic coating of defective paper cups, production scraps and PE-coated paper cup waste.

Dedicated Recycling Solution

Turn Paper Cup Waste into Reusable Paper Fibre and Plastic

Disposable paper cups are composite packaging products. Their paper base is bonded with a thin plastic coating, making conventional paper recycling difficult.

Hongxin paper-plastic separation equipment processes defective cups, production scraps and suitable coated-paper waste, separating the bonded components for further recovery.

Why Paper Cups Require Specialized Separation

A paper cup contains a fibre layer and a water-resistant plastic coating. These layers are bonded together.

Paper layer
Recovered as wet paper pulp or fibre.
Plastic coating
Separated for cleaning, drying or further plastic processing.
