Plast R - CycleRecycling.
Reprocessing.
Masterbatch solutions for PCR, PIR, rPP, rHDPE, rLDPE, rLLDPE and selected mixed polyolefin recyclates — designed around moisture, stabilization, processing, odour and appearance.
Recycled plastic is a resource. The challenge is making it behave consistently.
Recycled polymer can carry a history — moisture, thermal exposure, colour variation, odour and changing melt behaviour. The right masterbatch can help processors manage these variables and build a more stable production process.
One recycling stream doesn't behave like another.
From post-consumer waste to production scrap, Bajaj Plast R-Cycle solutions can be selected according to polymer type, feedstock quality, processing method and finished-product requirements.
Compatibility starts
with the carrier.
Selecting the right masterbatch carrier is an important part of recycled-polymer processing. PE and PP recycling require different considerations.
PE
Selected according to recycled PE grade, process and application.
- rPE
- rHDPE
- rLDPE
- rLLDPE
PP
Selected for suitable recycled PP processing and finished applications.
- rPP
Built around
the recycling process.
Moisture. Oxidation. Processing. Odour. Colour. Appearance. Outdoor exposure. Bajaj solutions address different production requirements across recycled PE and PP applications.
Plast
Desiccant
Helps manage residual moisture in suitable recycled polymers and supports more stable processing.
Plast
Anti-Oxidant
Supports polymer stabilization during thermal processing and repeated reprocessing.
Plast
PPA
Processing-aid solutions for suitable extrusion applications where smoother processing is required.
Plast
Odour Remover
Designed for suitable recycled-material applications where residual odour needs to be reduced.
Plast
Black
Black masterbatch for consistent blackness, dispersion and finished-product appearance.
Plast
Colour
Colour masterbatch solutions for improving colour consistency across variable recycled feedstocks.
Plast
White / TiO₂
White and TiO₂ masterbatch solutions for improved whiteness, opacity and visual consistency.
Plast
OB
Optical brightener masterbatch that absorbs UV light and re-emits blue, helping reduce yellowing in recycled polymer articles.
Masterbatch
for recyclates.
Recycled polymer rarely needs just one fix. Each Plast R-Cycle masterbatch targets a specific recycling challenge, and they can be combined to suit your feedstock, process and application.
Optical brighteners
Absorbs UV light and re-emits blue, reducing yellowing and improving whiteness and brightness in transparent or white articles with recyclates.
Plast OBMoisture absorbers
Absorbs moisture and allows for higher recyclate content and improved processing with high moisture content recycled polymer.
Plast DesiccantOdour adsorber
Adsorbs or neutralizes odour from volatile organic compounds to reduce the odour of recycled polymer.
Plast Odour RemoverAntioxidants
Antioxidant to protect the polymer from thermal degradation. Reduction of gels, less yellowing and improved control of melt flow index.
Plast Anti-OxidantProcessing aids
Improves extrusion, optimizes productivity, reduces gel formation and improves surface quality during polymer processing with recycled polymer.
Plast PPADesiccants
Desiccant Masterbatches Prevents degradation of recyclates from moisture Present in the Air.
Plast DesiccantSlip regulators
Reduce migration of slip additives to improve control of coefficient of friction.
Plast Slip MBAvailability and grade depend on polymer (PE or PP), feedstock and application. Contact Bajaj Masterbatches to select the right combination.
Reprocess with more control.
A recycled polymer may have already experienced heat, shear, moisture and multiple processing cycles. Plast R-Cycle solutions can be selected to address specific processing requirements rather than treating every recycled material the same way.
Different feedstock.
Different challenges.
Recycled materials can vary from batch to batch. Understanding the problem before selecting the additive or masterbatch is key to developing a suitable solution.
Moisture
Washed or contaminated recycled material can carry residual moisture into extrusion and moulding.
Thermal history
Repeated thermal exposure can affect polymer stability and processing behaviour.
Processing variation
Recycled feedstock can show changes in melt behaviour depending on its source and previous processing.
Residual odour
Post-consumer material may contain unwanted odour from previous use or contamination.
Colour variation
Mixed colours and inconsistent feedstock can affect the visual appearance of recycled products.
Outdoor exposure
Recycled polymers used outdoors may require an application-specific UV stabilization system.
Match the solution to the recycled polymer.
The following matrix is a starting point. Final masterbatch selection should be based on the actual polymer, feedstock, process and application.
| Recycled material | Bajaj solution | What it helps with | Main processing benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCR | Desiccant | Moisture in recycled polymer | Supports stable processing and helps reduce moisture-related defects |
| PCR | Anti-Oxidant | Thermal / oxidative degradation | Supports polymer stability during reprocessing |
| PCR | PPA / Processing Aid | Melt / extrusion processing | Supports smoother processing and productivity |
| PCR | Odour Remover | Unwanted recycled-material odour | Helps improve finished-product acceptability |

Recycling Material
Applications.
A new purpose for recycled polymers. Explore applications where selected recycled PE and PP can be matched with Bajaj Masterbatch solutions.
Paint pails
Selected recycled PP or HDPE for non-food paint containers. Match the recyclate blend to impact strength, lid fit and handling requirements.
Bajaj solutions: Colour / White / Black, Antioxidant and Desiccant as required.
Plastic pots
Recycled polyolefins for nursery pots and planters. Select additives around shade consistency, processing stability and the intended outdoor exposure.
Bajaj solutions: Colour / Black, Antioxidant and application-specific UV.
Food trays
PP food packaging trays require a suitable resin and manufacturing route. Recycled content for direct food contact must meet applicable food-contact requirements.
Bajaj solutions: Approved food-contact Colour / White and additives, subject to qualification.
Chairs
Selected recycled PP blends for moulded seating. Validate stiffness, impact strength and finished-chair load performance before production.
Bajaj solutions: Colour / Black / White, Antioxidant and UV for outdoor use.
Plastic Tubs
Selected recycled PE for non-pressure tubs, sleeves and protective conduits. Match feedstock and additives to extrusion quality and end-use requirements.
Bajaj solutions: Black / Colour, Antioxidant and suitable Processing Aid.
Food serving trays
Moulded PP serving trays need consistent colour and a smooth finish. Direct food-contact use requires approved materials and a qualified recycled-content route.
Bajaj solutions: Approved food-contact Colour / White and suitable additives.
Application photos are illustrative and do not establish recycled content. Final resin blends and masterbatches require product testing. Food-contact trays require a compliant recycled-material route and approved additives; masterbatch alone does not make recyclate food safe.
From waste stream
to usable polymer.
Masterbatch is one part of the recycling process. Sorting, cleaning, drying, filtration and processing conditions remain essential to the final material quality.
Waste stream
PCR, PIR, production scrap or mixed polyolefins
→Preparation
Sorting, washing, drying and size reduction
→Reprocessing
Extrusion, filtration and pelletization
→Plast R-Cycle
Selected additive and masterbatch solutions
→Finished product
Film, sacks, FIBC, moulded products and more
Different routes.
One circular objective.
Recycling can take different forms depending on the source material and the final application.
Example: crate → recycling → new crate.
Example: packaging → recycled product.
