Shabra’s large, purpose-built operational facility serves three functions, operating as an integrated:
- Plastic Recycling Reprocessing
- Manufacturing of bags and sacks
- Supply Chain.
Bottle Sorting & Reprocessing Dept
State of the Art Facilities
The plant uses both mechanised and manual processes to reclaim plastic. Plastics are hugely varied and are not always compatible with each other. These must be identified and manually separated and then have all excess material removed. The plastic then must be downsized, baled, shredded and washed before being melted and recycled as pellets. The blend of types of plastic that occurs is vital, to ensure that only compatible polymer types are combined. This part of the process is fully mechanised. The plastic recyclate is then extruded into plastic bags and cut to size. The facilities onsite also include paper shredding and wood shredding. As a recognised leader in the waste reclamation business, Shabra will also, subject to our minimum requirements, arrange collection, storage and reprocessing of a wide variety of waste materials types.
Supply
All of our customers use our extensive store in Castleblayney for various supplies which include paper bags and packaging made and printed to customer requirements. Our supply of catering disposables, janitorial supplies and chemicals for catering and industrial applications is also one of Ireland’s largest, and in many cases, such as the catering and industrial spillages absorbant SNOW, we are the country’s sole suppliers.
The plant is fully automated with various processes to segregate different kinds of plastics. Plastic materials are hugely varied and not always compatible with each other, hence different waste plastic streams are identified.
