PPLLC is a leading
thermoplastic solutions provider
PPLLC provides recycling solutions for post consumer and post industrial
resins, including PET. Single screw extrusion technology is used to melt,
process, and filter recycled flake into pellets. PPLLC's capabilities
include drying, extruding, and underwater pelletizing flake to provide a
pellet feedstock for further processing. PPLLC routinely increases the IV
of recycled polyesters and nylons for specialty applications.
