Synthetic materials are extremely suitable for recycling, but in

order to process plastics effectively, at-source separation is

usually essential. Virol has seized on to this with a splendid system for foils and polystyrene foam. GRAB A BAG! Virol’s customers are supplied with a big plastic bag in which foil and polystyrene can be collected separately. When the bag is full, it

is picked up by Virol.

Apart from foil and polystyrene, Virol also collects other synthetic products such as cups, buckets, crates, trays etc.

After sorting, the synthetic waste materials are offered to various buyers, who use them as raw material to make new synthetics. Those plastics that cannot possibly be recycled are processed

into fuel and/or raw material for the energy and industrial sectors.
