The production of prime plastic is necessary for modern life, but unfortunately it creates economic and environmental waste. When excess polymers are spilled during production, they’re not only wasted – they can end up in our communities and water systems.
It’s crucial for petrochemical plants to take steps in resin loss prevention to meet their Operation Clean Sweep regulatory compliance. Still, sweeping up spilled materials is not enough.
This is where Sunrise comes in. We leverage an arsenal of polymer recovery machines, techniques, and methods to responsibly recover spilled polymer from petrochemical producers. We then ship the waste to our improvement centers, where it’s transformed into reusable material that’s perfect for OEM manufacturers.
We sort recovered scrap according to:
- Size
- Color
- Shape
- Grade
The sorted scrap is washed, dried, and separated to be processed further.
Our process ensures that the utility of all plastic is maximized. Nothing goes to waste, and our renewed polymers are blended and packaged into certified recycled content.
Materials recovered and restored from polymer spills and OCS recovery are part of our Sunrise Renew Polymers™ product line. When producers partner with Sunrise, they better serve the planet, the environment, and our communities.
