In the section for the collection of plastic, the user will feed the material in through a hatch that automatically opens with a special magnetic card. After being weighed, the material is dumped into a 7.5 kW grinder that reduces the plastic to sufficiently homogeneous dimensions.

A powerful wash system then eliminates any contaminants and the plastic is set in storage to be picked up in due time.
