About what and for whom

All about recycling, and specifically about plastic waste pelletizing without a washing line.

For entrepreneurs and production managers

The information of the Course will allow you to avoid many mistakes that we and many other recyclers have made on its’ way.

Only practical useful information that will allow you to understand the processes better, to choose the right equipment, suppliers, and also to save on the purchase of machines, spare parts and consumables significantly.

You can optimally organize production processes, give up some common illusions and make money steadily on this competitive market.

Even an independent study of the Course and application of the information obtained in every-day practice will allow you to save hundreds of thousands dollars. Not taking into account that you will not make many costly mistakes.

For those who only plan to create recycling business, the Course will serve as a roadmap for many key processes and stages.

For those who have long been in this business, the Course will give a complete idea of the way we run it.

We do not theorize general topics. Instead, we give detailed information based on our experience. You will get a full picture of many our processes what we are focusing on, what we use and what tactics we apply in various aspects of our activity. We constantly communicate with many colleagues within plastic recycling industry. And having the full knowledge of the situation from inside, we are sure that many who are not newcomers in this business, will still find useful information in our Course and will be able to really save on something and do something better than they did before.

Why is the price for the Course as it is?

In the plastic recycling market, as in many other business areas, you have two ways to start up:

  • To learn everything by yourself going trial-and-error way
  • To employ specialists and to commission them to do what they are good at.

If you are going the first way, the information received from our Course will protect you from making a number of costly mistakes and will serve as a guide in making many decisions. The cost of the Course will be regained many times.

Yes, you can find a lot of useful information free on the Internet. But the problem is that there is even more useless and unreliable information there. How can a beginner understand what information is reliable and useful, and what is not, because in many forums people are free to write anything they want, not bearing any responsibility. Unlike the chitchat in various forums, we offer our information in a structured form, we sell it for money, and we are responsible for its adequacy

Writing the Course, we were guided by a simple basic idea - the information should be really useful for the user, should give real opportunities to do something better, to save money, to make some more money, and not to make any specific mistakes.

We evaluated each module, each page of the Course, in terms of the usefulness of the Course for the user. Of course, users can have different level of experience and knowledge in this field. But we are sure that we will reveal something interesting even for the most well-informed persons. And even if we assume that some superprofessional (most likely one of our competitors in the industry) will not find anything new for himself or herself at all, he or she will at least understand our level for this or that subject, and many would pay much more than the Course costs for such information about a competitor.

If you go the second way, in the market you will find a more or less capable specialist for at least $1000 a month. More or less decent production manager will cost you at least $2-3000 per month. Most likely it will be a person who has already supervised such a production. Unfortunately, very many people greatly exaggerate their talents, knowledge and experience. You will understand how competent he or she is only a few months later.

Our Course gives not less, and to a large extent even more information than any such specialist can even just convey you during one month of work, quite apart from providing everything in a structured form.

With the help of our Course you will be able to effectively test your specialist, both when employing, and during his or her work and when he or she makes decisions on various tasks.
