Industrial Pallets and Recycling
Overview
The category of industrial recycling and pellets encompasses solid waste of industrial and post-process origin, such as plastics, fibers, foams, paper, and composite materials. When generated in their original form, these wastes often present high volume, low apparent density, irregular shapes, and difficult handling, which increases storage, transportation, and final disposal costs.
Pelletizing allows these residues to be transformed into compact, homogeneous, and stable pellets, enabling their reuse as secondary raw materials, energy inputs, or filler material. The process is especially suitable for particulate, fibrous, or crushable materials, allowing for a drastic reduction in volume, physical standardization, and greater operational safety within the industrial environment.
Main Features
Industrial or post-consumer origin
High volume and low density before pelleting.
Irregular particle size or fragmented shape
Potential for productive or energy reuse.
Variability in composition depending on the industrial process.
Food waste and common foods that can be pelletized.

post-pelletizing
Energy Applications
Use as an alternative solid fuel
Boiler and thermal system feed
Energy recovery from non-recyclable waste
Commercial Applications
Marketing of recycled pellets
Optimized destination for recyclers and partners.
Compliance with reverse logistics policies
Industrial Applications
Reintroduction as a secondary raw material
Used as recyclable granules for new processes.
Base for compounds, fillers or insulation.
Final result of the pellet
Solid, stable and uniform pellet
High logistical and operational gains.
Significant reduction of environmental impact
Technical observations
May require prior crushing or separation of materials. Composition influences the final application of the pellet. Waste mixtures must be technically evaluated. Process adjustments vary according to the density and elasticity of the material.
