Plastic Resource Recovery Solutions

 

At Impact Air Systems, we bring decades of hands-on experience in delivering high-performance plastic resource recovery solutions. Our advanced air-based systems specialise in the separation, extraction, and cleaning of various plastic forms — from bags and flexible films to granules and rigid flakes — helping recyclers maximise material recovery and improve product quality for reprocessing.

 

Flexible Plastic Packaging removal from waste stream

 

Driving Zero Waste Initiatives

With increasing pressure to reduce landfill contributions and support a circular economy, effective recovery of recyclable plastics is more critical than ever. Impact’s systems are actively supporting zero landfill goals across the globe, recovering thousands of tonnes of valuable plastics every year from waste streams that would otherwise go to landfill.

 

Solutions for Every Plastic Recovery Challenge

Our systems are purpose-built to manage a wide range of plastics, including PET, LDPE, HDPE, WEEE plastics, PP, PS, and PVC. From lightweight films to dense flakes, we provide comprehensive solutions that integrate seamlessly into MRFs, plastics recovery facilities, and other recycling environments.

 

Key solutions include:

 

FilmVac System

Removes plastic bags, sheeting, and films from mixed waste streams. Material is pneumatically conveyed and automatically compacted into high-density bales using our screw compactor system — reducing handling time and maximising storage efficiency.

 

Plastic FilmLift

An innovative, patented system that works in conjunction with optical sorters to capture flexible plastic packaging (FPP) rejected during sorting. Material is extracted using air injection, separated via a rotary separator, and collected in a film bunker. Installed at over 15 major facilities across the USA, the FilmLift is helping sites recover material that was previously lost to waste.

 

Zigzag Separation System

Delivers precise removal of dust, light debris, and fibre from plastic flakes or granules, enhancing product purity and increasing recycling value. Especially effective for plastics pre-processed for regranulation or pelletising.

 

Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Transports plastic bottles, containers, and materials efficiently across your facility via custom-designed ductwork systems, delivering material directly to external storage silos, containers, or processing units — streamlining operations and reducing manual handling.

 

Proven Technology, Global Trust

Impact’s plastic recovery solutions are trusted by recyclers worldwide. Whether you operate a small facility or a large-scale materials recovery centre, we tailor each system to meet your specific operational requirements — improving throughput, cleanliness, and profitability.
