TRASH SHARK RECYCLING

Produce a product from start to finish for less than the costs of the other plastics manufacturers raw material.

Utilize clean and dirty plastics and other elements of the waste stream all at once AND re-recycle that product again.

TRASH SHARK RECYCLING

Trash Shark Technologies employs a simple three step process to repurpose comingled and dirty plastics into durable and sustainable products. Grind – Compound - Mold.

HUGE resource and operational cost savings:No need to:• Sort by resin type because all types can be used at once (It can also utilize densified plastic bags and

Styrofoam)• Wash because contaminants are not a problem.

The technology can employ up to 50% filler that can be practically anything else in the waste stream like old rags, corn husks, saw dust, etc. The more fibrous fillers actually help add to the integrity of the end product.

The low heat requirements of the molding process saves additional energy and cost.

The products generated can be re-recycled through this process 5 to 10 times due to the low heat process. This doesn’t break down the polymers that make a typical post-consumer single resin-type plastic product only available for reuse once maybe twice.

Produce a product from start to finish for less than the costs of the other plastics manufacturers raw material.

Applications

• Where the primary product attribute is durability and sustainability not aesthetics.• End product is heavy due to the molding constraint of no less than ¼” thick. • Shipping pallets, raised garden bed ties, industrial applications…

Utilize clean and dirty plastics and other elements of the waste stream all at once AND re-recycle that product again.
