The waste plastic granulation process is the process of metering, bonding, plasticizing and granulating polymer resin and various waste plastics and additives into granular plastics, which are semi-finished products in the plastic molding processing industry.

With the wide application of plastic products worldwide, the disposal of waste plastics has become a difficult and urgent problem. One method used to reduce environmental pollution caused by plastics is the granulation of plastics for reuse.

According to GLOBAL TRADE ALTAS statistics, the boom of the rubber and plastics industry has rebounded due to the growth of the aerospace and automotive industries and the market demand for consumer goods. With the economic growth of Asian countries, the Asia-Pacific region has become the largest and fastest-growing region in the world's plastic and rubber industry. About 40% of plastic and rubber machinery is manufactured in Asia. The fourth industrial revolution combines machinery and information and communication, both of which are the most advantageous industries in Taiwan. Taiwan's plastic and rubber machinery industry combines these two advantages and applies smart manufacturing new business models to strengthen competitive advantages and seek to create niche points. New business opportunities have brought Taiwan's plastics and rubber machinery industry to a new peak.

Plastic granulation technology is mainly used in plastic product manufacturing and resource recycling to make various plastic products or plastic raw materials, and has both environmental and economic benefits.

Plastic issues cover a wide range from waste such as bottles and cans to microplastics and are inseparable from the lives of the general public. The environmental problems caused using many plastics have long been widely recognized around the world. Blindly recycling can no longer solve the huge plastic pollutants. Seeking a comprehensive transformation of the system is the fundamental way.

Plastics waste is hurting the chemical industry as well as the environment. By taking the lead on recycling, chemical players could add a new dimension to the industry and help solve the problem.
