Behind the Scenes: The Making of Pluto Intero's Recycled Plastic Products

Behind the Scenes: The Making of Pluto Intero's Recycled Plastic Products

In today’s world, where sustainability is not just a trend but a necessity, Pluto Intero ®️ stands out by transforming plastic waste into beautiful, functional home decor items. But what does it take to turn discarded plastic into elegant wall shelves, LED decor, and other stylish products? Let’s take you behind the scenes to explore the meticulous five-step process that ensures our products are not only sustainable but also top-notch in quality and design.


Step 1: Collection of Plastic Waste

plastic Waste Collection

The journey of every Pluto Intero ®️ product begins with the collection of plastic waste. We source plastic from various channels, including recycling centres, waste pickers, and local communities. By doing so, we not only reduce the amount of plastic that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans but also support the livelihoods of those involved in waste collection. Our goal is to give new life to discarded materials, turning them into something valuable and long-lasting.


Step 2: Segregation by Colour and Grade

Segregation

Once the plastic waste is collected, it undergoes a detailed segregation process. This step is crucial because different types of plastic have varying properties, and sorting them correctly ensures the quality and durability of the final product. We carefully separate the plastic by colour and grade, ensuring that the materials used in our products are uniform and consistent. This attention to detail is what makes our products not only visually appealing but also reliable in their performance.


Step 3: Shredding and Cleaning

Shredding

After segregation, the plastic waste is fed into shredders, where it is broken down into smaller pieces. Shredding the plastic allows us to manage and process it more efficiently, ensuring that it can be easily transformed into the raw materials we need. However, before these shredded pieces can be used, they must be thoroughly cleaned. The cleaning process removes any impurities, dirt, or contaminants that may be present, ensuring that the plastic is pristine and ready for the next stage. This step is vital in maintaining the quality of the finished product.


Step 4: Transforming Plastic into Granules

Granule conversion

Once clean, the shredded plastic is melted and transformed into granules. These granules are the raw materials that will be used to create our products. This step is where the magic happens—where waste begins its transformation into something entirely new. By using advanced machinery and techniques, we ensure that the granules are uniform in size and quality, setting the stage for the final product's creation. The granulation process also allows us to store and transport the raw materials easily, giving us flexibility in our production process.


Step 5: Manufacturing into Finished Products

The final step in our process is where the raw granules are pressed into sheets and moulded into various products. This is where our creative vision meets technical expertise. Whether it’s a sleek wall shelf, an innovative LED decor piece, or a stylish partition panel, each product is crafted with precision and care. The use of sustainable materials doesn’t mean compromising on style or quality—in fact, it enhances it. Our products are not only eco-friendly but also designed to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of modern homes.
