Plastic shredding is critical for waste reclamation and reuse. raditional shredding and pelletizing systems require grid-tie electricity, and are bulky and expensive. Transporting waste from collection points to a centralized facility is uneconomical.

LightManufacturing is working to develop field-deployable Solar Shredders.  These photo-voltaic powered, lightweight systems built to operate in remote locations and near challenging waste sources: beach waste, rural landfills, river waste, and beyond. The goal is to shred waste where it is collected, providing feed-stock for our SRM molding systems and other recycling technologies.

When combined with our Solar Rotational Molding systems, Solar Shredders will offer complete local manufacturing, local recycling solution, with local employment and circular-economy benefits.
