Plastic film recycling machine is specialized industrial equipment designed to process plastic waste (e.g., EPE foam scraps, PE/PP film offcuts, plastic bottles, injection molding rejects) into reusable raw materials (e.g., pellets, flakes, powder). These machines play a critical role in closing the plastic production loop—reducing waste sent to landfills, lowering raw material costs for manufacturers, and supporting sustainable production. For businesses using equipment like EPE foam machines or film extruders, matching recycling machines to their specific waste streams (e.g., EPE foam edge trims, PE stretch film scraps) can cut material expenses by 15–30%.​

Plastic recycling machines are categorized by processing technology, waste type, and output form. The most common types for industrial production waste include shredder-granulator combinations, film recycling lines, foam recycling machines, and all-in-one pelletizing lines—each tailored to handle different plastic forms (rigid vs. flexible, foam vs. film).
