Why did Nigeria need plastic recycling machines?

  • Limited Recycling Infrastructure: Despite the growing demand for plastic recycling, recycling infrastructure in Nigeria is relatively limited. The lack of advanced plastic pelletizing machines and technologies makes effective processing and recycling of waste plastics challenging.
  • Manual Recycling: Due to lack of machines, most plastic recycling in Nigeria still relies on manual operations. Recyclers usually sort, clean and process plastic waste manually, which makes the recycling process inefficient and the factories less profitable.
  • Potential Demand for Mechanized Technology: With the growing concern for environmental sustainability and government and business support for plastic waste recycling, more recycling machines will be introduced in Nigeria’s plastic recycling plants.

Plastic recycling line size and capacity: The size and capacity of the production line is a key factor. The budget for a small capacity recycling plant is typically $6,000 to $50,000 dollars.

But large-scale, high-capacity plastics recycling lines usually require more investment, such as a recycling plant with a capacity of 1 ton per hour and a high demand for finished products, with a full set of machines costing around $150,000, which is relatively expensive. The larger the capacity, the more advanced and durable the line’s equipment and processes may need to be.

Customization needs: If the customer has special customization needs for the line, such as different particle sizes, special cleaning requirements, etc., additional engineering and manufacturing is usually required, which may affect the plastic recycling machine price in Nigeria.
