Going Beyond the Bale
Van Dyk is committed to improving plastics circularity in North America by developing domestic processing solutions to support the entire plastic value chain. That’s why we are expanding our portfolio to design and build fully vertically integrated plastics recycling systems. We are offering turnkey processing, washing, and extrusion solutions for mechanical, chemical, AI-powered, and advanced recycling systems. This investment in further downstream plastics recovery will help our customers close the loop and get more value out of their plastics stream.
The recyclability of plastics are a global problem, but with dedicated processors backed by Van Dyk’s experience in plant building, we can tackle this issue together and bring our industry closer to closing the loop. Equipment sequencing from qualified suppliers is critical in this space, and we have a team with years of real-world experience, and relationships with quality manufacturers, that can deliver successful fully vertically integrated plastics recycling systems.
Our turnkey systems are backed by two world leaders in near-infrared (NIR) sorting – TOMRA and Pellenc ST. Their advanced NIR spectrometry sensors recognize various plastic materials based on their specific and unique spectral properties. In addition to optical sorters, our turnkey processing systems include bale breakers, shredders, grinders, screens, elliptical separators, conveyors, and balers, as well as washing and extrusion systems.
At Van Dyk Recycling Solutions, in addition to optical sorters for plastic recycling sorting, we can supply a complete turnkey plastics sorting system including grinders, screens, conveyors, and balers to meet your plastics recycling needs.
Syndigo1
We are proud to be an equipment supplier to NOVA Circular Solutions’ first mechanical recycling plant to process film in the U.S. (SYNDIGO1, pictured above). Located in Connersville, IN and operated by Novolex, the plant converts post-consumer films into recycled polyethylene. Fully operational at the beginning of 2025, the facility has the capacity to process 140 million pounds of LLDPE film annually.
Freepoint Eco-Systems
Freepoint Eco-Systems LLC owns and operates a waste plastic upcycling facility in Hebron, Ohio using Van Dyk processing equipment. The plant converts 180 million pounds per year of waste plastic into pyrolysis oil (PyOil), from which its customers can manufacture new products. The company just hit a major milestone by loading its first rail car of PyOil made from waste plastic for delivery to Shell USA’s refining facility in Norco, Louisiana.
