Nepal’s industries, from household plastics to irrigation, packaging, and manufacturing, depend heavily on high-quality polymer raw materials. But with the increasing cost of imported virgin plastic and the growing urgency to reduce waste, the demand for recycled HDPE, LDPE, and PP granules has rapidly increased.

National Plastic Industries has emerged as one of Nepal’s leading producers of premium recycled granules, supplying manufacturers across the country with consistent, durable, and eco-friendly material. Through a modern recycling system, the company converts plastic waste into usable polymer granules that match industry standards for strength, purity, and melt-flow consistency.

This article explains how the granules are produced, why they are essential for Nepal’s manufacturing sector, and what makes National Plastic Industries a reliable source for polymer raw materials.


What Are Recycled Plastic Granules?

Recycled granules are small, pellet-shaped raw materials created by processing used HDPE, LDPE, and polypropylene plastic waste. These granules act as the base material for manufacturing plastic products across industries.

At National Plastic Industries, the granules are produced through:

  1. 1. Careful sorting of the waste

  2. 2. Thorough cleaning and washing

  3. 3. Shredding and extrusion into pellet form

  4. 4. Filtration to ensure purity

  5. 5. Granule finishing for uniform size, color, and texture

The result is a high-quality recycled material that performs similarly to virgin HDPE/LDPE while being significantly more sustainable and cost-effective.


Why Recycled Granules Matter in Nepal

✔ Reduces Plastic Waste

Every kilogram of granules comes from waste that would otherwise end up in landfills or rivers.

✔ Provides Affordable Raw Material

Imported virgin plastic is costly; recycled granules help stabilize the supply chain for local manufacturers.

✔ Supports the Circular Economy

Waste becomes raw material again, reducing environmental pressure.

✔ Ideal for a Large Range of Industries

Recycled granules fit injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, film making, and more.

How National Plastic Industries Produces High-Quality Granules

National Plastic Industries follows a controlled recycling workflow to ensure quality and uniformity.

1. Waste Collection & Sorting

Plastic waste (HDPE, LDPE, PP) is collected, separated by material type, and inspected for impurities.

2. Deep Cleaning & Washing

Waste is washed, scrubbed, and dried to remove dust, labels, dirt, and contaminants.

3. Shredding & Crushing

Cleaned plastic is shredded into small flakes.

4. Extrusion & Filtration

The flakes are melted, filtered, and extruded into strands.
These strands are then cooled and cut into granules.

5. Coloring & Blending

Depending on waste source and product requirement, granules are available in:

  • Natural

  • Grey

  • Black

  • Blue

  • Green

  • (Other custom shades if required)

6. Melt Flow Index (MFI) Adjustments

NPI provides different MFI grades suitable for:

  • Injection molding

  • Blow molding

  • Film extrusion

  • Pipe production

  • Utility product manufacturing

Environmental Impact

Each ton of recycled granules reduces:

  • Carbon emissions

  • Landfill waste

  • Demand for virgin plastic

  • Oil consumption

It directly supports Nepal’s sustainability goals and promotes responsible manufacturing.


Conclusion

Recycled HDPE, LDPE, and PP granules are shaping the future of Nepal’s manufacturing sector. National Plastic Industries ensures that every granule produced meets the needs of modern industries while supporting a cleaner, more sustainable environment.

Whether for pipes, containers, woven sacks, film products, or household goods, NPI’s recycled granules provide a strong, affordable, and eco-friendly raw material solution for manufacturers across the country.
