CMG Granulators, a name synonymous with innovation in plastics recycling, is set to make a significant impact at the Plastics Recycling World Expo, taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, from November 12-13 2025. With over 45 years of expertise, the company continues to push the boundaries of size reduction technology, offering solutions that promise higher efficiency, substantial energy savings, and superior quality in reprocessed materials.

Giorgio Santella, representing CMG Granulators at Booth R2812, highlights the company's distinct competitive edge: "What sets us apart is our focus on precision, customization, and sustainability. Our granulators are engineered with advanced energy-saving features, optimized cutting efficiency, and solutions tailored for specific industry needs, whether in post-consumer recycling, extrusion, or injection molding. We don't just provide equipment; we deliver integrated solutions that maximize productivity and reduce environmental impact."

The next big thing: AI-driven performance monitoring

CMG Granulators is poised to unveil several groundbreaking innovations at the Expo. A key highlight is their AI-driven performance monitoring, a technology set to revolutionize granulation efficiency through real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance. This translates to minimized downtime, optimized energy consumption, and consistent processing quality.

Beyond AI, CMG is introducing advanced granulation solutions for highly challenging materials, including multi-layer and high-tech engineered plastics. This development opens new avenues for material recovery, significantly reducing waste and bolstering circular economy efforts. Another game-changer is their next-generation energy-efficient granulator line, promising substantial reductions in energy consumption while boosting throughput. "Visitors will have the chance to see these innovations firsthand and discuss tailored solutions with our expert team," Santella confirms.

Tackling industry challenges head-on

Giorgio Santella acknowledges that achieving true circularity amidst material complexity is one of the biggest challenges facing the plastics recycling industry today. CMG Granulators is directly addressing this by developing cutting-edge solutions capable of processing even the most difficult materials.

The oversupply of virgin plastic also presents a significant hurdle. CMG is actively collaborating with industry partners to champion the adoption of high-quality recycled resins, demonstrating how advanced granulation technology can enhance the consistency and usability of recycled plastics. Furthermore, as regulatory shifts and sustainability targets become increasingly stringent, CMG is providing customized solutions that enable businesses to meet these evolving requirements and align with circular economy principles.

The future of plastics recycling: A decade ahead

Looking ten years down the line, Santella foresees a major transformation in the industry, driven by technological advancements, regulatory shifts, and evolving consumer demands. He anticipates a future where traditional mechanical recycling is complemented by advanced recycling technologies like chemical recycling. AI and automation will play a pivotal role in increasing efficiency, reducing contamination, and optimizing material recovery, making recycling more cost-effective. Stricter regulatory pressures and sustainability goals will push businesses toward higher recycled content, with incentives for sustainable packaging.

To prepare for this evolving landscape, Santella advises businesses to "invest in Smart Recycling Technologies, enhance material recovery strategies, and align with Sustainability Regulations. Any company will have to adapt to evolving policies and integrate higher recycled content into their products." He emphasizes that CMG Granulators is already at the forefront, developing next-generation granulation solutions that align with these future industry needs. Excitement builds for the Expo

What excites CMG Granulators most about this year's expo is the unparalleled opportunity to showcase their latest innovations. "We are unveiling AI-driven performance monitoring that will take efficiency in plastics recycling to the next level, along with latest-generation energy-efficient granulators designed to cut costs and reduce environmental impact," says Santella. Beyond product launches, the team is eager to engage with industry leaders, exchange insights on sustainability, and discuss the future of plastics recycling, viewing the expo as a vital platform for connecting with partners, customers, and innovators who are shaping the industry’s next decade.
