Sustainability
At KNAM Industries International, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We recognize that plastic and paper waste can take years, or even decades, to decompose. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our practices and solutions designed to minimize waste and reduce carbon footprints. By emphasizing sustainable recycling and packaging solutions, we effectively keep plastic and paper waste out of landfills and support responsible waste management.
As a company that operates in the paper and plastic industries, we understand the environmental impact that waste can have. Over half of our packaging products are produced from recycled paper. We are also committed to reducing plastic waste and preserving the environment by converting scrap into reusable products, such as returnable dunnage, pads, poly bags, and pellets.
In addition to recycling scrap plastic, we also use sustainable practices in our operations. We minimize waste by using efficient processes and equipment, and we recycle materials whenever possible. Our goal is to reduce our environmental footprint and operate in a way that is responsible and sustainable.
Recycling & Sustainability
Separation
Plastics are separated using near-infrared technology (NIR) or via density tests (floats/sinks in water).
Cleaning
The cleaning process includes washing, shredding, sorting, and separating non-plastic components.
Grindings
The grinding processes the plastic waste into small flakes ready for repelletizing.
Compounding
The compounding process takes plastic flakes and customizes them with various additives to achieve color, property, and performance requirements.
Testing
Custom compounds are tested in an A2LA certified laboratory and a certificate of analysis is generated.
