A plastic granule is a small plastic particle produced in various sizes and shapes — the smallest can be about the size of a grain of rice. Because it takes shape easily when melted and poured into a mold, it is used across countless industries.
A granule is a raw-material form produced mostly from thermoplastic polymers, and it is one of the fundamental raw materials of the plastics industry. Depending on its type, it can offer resistance to acids and bases as well as resistance to impact and fatigue, increasing the durability of the parts in which it is used.
The plastic granule is one of the most widely used raw materials: toy manufacturing, construction, food packaging, electronic insulation, kitchenware, white goods and automotive. It is also common in optical and medical instruments, furniture, thermally insulated products, water tanks, single-use products and shopping bags.
Granule production most often takes place at recycling facilities. Plastic products brought to the facility are fed into the recycling line; after washing, sorting, crushing and shredding, they are turned into granules and made ready for reuse.
