Waste recovery plays a crucial role in the process of plastic recycling. It involves collecting, sorting, and processing plastic waste to extract valuable materials and reintroduce them into the production cycle.
Waste Collection
Sorting & Pre-processing
Collected PET bottles are sorted by color and material type, with caps and labels removed. This step is crucial for producing high-quality PET flakes or pellets.
Baling
Baling is an important process in plastic recycling that involves compressing plastic waste into bales making it easier to transport, and store, making them more convenient for further processing or shipping to recycling facilities.
Crushing
Crushing is a fundamental process in plastic recycling that involves reducing the size of plastic waste to facilitate further processing. It is achieved using machines that apply mechanical forces to break down the plastic waste into smaller particles or flakes.
Cold Washing
Cold washing, also known as ambient washing, is a process used in plastic recycling to clean and remove contaminants from plastic waste using water or a water-based solution at room temperature.

About Us
Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Port Harcourt, Recyclift Limited began with a grassroots mission: going door-to-door in local neighborhoods to collect and separate plastic bottles directly from households. Over time, the company scaled up operations, partnering with informal waste pickers and collection centers throughout the city. Today, Recyclift purchases PET bottles and processes them using its advanced sorting, crushing and cold washing technology.
Operating in Port Harcourt, the company runs around the clock shifts with employees dedicated to sorting, de-labelling, crushing, and washing PET plastics into cold washed PET flakes ready for export. The company currently handles over 100 tonnes of plastic waste monthly. Recyclift also actively supports the “Waste to Cash” initiative, empowering informal collectors and low-income earners by offering stable income opportunities through recycling partnerships.
