Bioplastics and the Role of Plastic Recycling

Incineration

Bio-based plastics that cannot be disposed of via normal recycling processes can still be used for energy. Waste incineration plants can capture carbon dioxide from incinerated bio-based plastics to create new bio-based products.

The Role of Industrial Machine Knives and the Plastics Loop

Regardless of which Plastics Loop is required, industrial dies, knives, and blades are necessary at every single stage from the creation of virgin material, compounding of pellets and converting of pellets into sheet and/or film or other plastic products to the granulating, shredding, and pelletizing at the end of a product's life. (Or scrap from the manufacturing process). American Cutting Edge engineers a cutting solution for each stage of the Plastics Loop.

 Why ACE?

ACE has over 58 years in the industrial knife manufacturing business and understands every stage of the Plastics Loop. This provides us with unique insight and knowledge that few suppliers can offer. With advanced metallurgy and engineering experience, we know exactly how blades respond to plastic materials of all types regardless of their origin. Not only that, but ACE also has a firm understanding of how the changes that occur to this material throughout the Plastics Loop drive corresponding changes to blade materials. That's insight customers just can't gain anywhere else.
