Since 1976, Tecnofer has been a trailblazer in the plastic recycling industry, delivering hundreds of washing lines globally. At the Plastics Recycling World Expo, taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, from November 12-13, 2025, Tecnofer will highlight what truly sets them apart.

As Alessandro explains, "What makes Tecnofer different from other players in the market is the extremely high level of customization, offering the possibility to supply complete washing lines or optimize existing plants by installing individual applications." He emphasizes their dedication to "performance optimization, with particular attention to final product cleanliness and energy savings."

The next big thing: unmatched cleaning performance for LDPE and HDPE/PP

Tecnofer is pushing plastic recycling to new heights with significant advancements in their machine fleet. "Tecnofer is taking plastic recycling to the next level with the expansion of our own machine fleet, focusing on advanced LDPE and HDPE/PP washing lines," Alessandro reveals. Visitors can look forward to upcoming innovations: "Soon, we will launch cutting-edge solutions that set a new benchmark in the industry — delivering an unmatched level of cleaning performance."

Tackling industry challenges: purity, efficiency, and sustainability

Alessandro identifies two critical challenges in plastic washing today: "achieving top cleaning performance while minimizing environmental impact and operational costs," and "delivering LDPE/LLDPE with truly workable residual humidity levels that ensure a smooth and efficient downstream extrusion process." Tecnofer addresses these head-on through continuous innovation. "Our washing lines are engineered to achieve outstanding final product purity — even when processing highly contaminated post-consumer material — while significantly reducing water and energy consumption," he states. Sustainability is core to their mission: "we develop solutions that help our customers lower their carbon footprint, optimize resource use, and stay competitive in a fast-changing market." Their flexible, customizable systems are designed for long-term value and performance, meeting specific local requirements.

A decade ahead: strong circular economy, digitalization, and carbon neutrality

Looking ten years into the future, Alessandro believes the plastic recycling and washing sectors will be reshaped by three major trends: "Stronger circular economy integration," "Digitalization and smart automation," and a "Greater focus on sustainability and carbon neutrality – Energy and water efficiency." "At Tecnofer, we’re committed to leading this transformation by designing innovative solutions that help our customers not only keep up, but stay ahead," he affirms. Businesses must prepare by embracing these shifts towards more integrated, digitalized, and sustainable operations.

Expo excitement: sharing a vision for the future

What excites Alessandro most about this year’s expo is "the chance to share our vision for the future of plastic recycling and present our most innovative solutions." They will be providing valuable insights into "some of the most flexible washing plants available on the market today, designed to give customers the freedom to plan for a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable future." The expo serves as a crucial opportunity to "engage with industry leaders, strengthen partnerships, and stay ahead of the challenges and opportunities of the transition towards a truly circular economy."
