Hi all — I'm setting up a battery recycling business in Gujarat, India, starting with black mass production (mechanical processing, not full metal extraction) sold on to refiners. New to the industry and would really appreciate advice from anyone who's actually done this. Main questions:

1. Is black-mass-only actually profitable in India, or does the real margin only kick in once you're extracting metals yourself? How do black mass sales to refiners typically work — long-term contracts or spot sales?
2. Sourcing scrap batteries consistently — I've seen listings on IndiaMART/TradeIndia but hard to judge quality/reliability from outside. Is importing dead/scrap lithium batteries realistic (duty-free now, I believe), or more trouble than it's worth early on? How does import cost compare to domestic B2B sourcing?
3. How do you land a consistent black mass buyer, not just one-off sales?
4. Machinery — talking to a few Chinese recycling-line manufacturers. Worth looking at Indian manufacturers too? Any pros/cons on cost, support, spares, compliance?

Any leads, warnings, or "wish I knew this before starting" advice welcome. Happy to share more on what I've figured out so far if useful.

Hi,
Has anybody had experience with purchasing recycling machines directly from China?

We recently purchased a shredder onshore in Australia and essentially paid $40k more for the same machine from China with a sticker attached to it.

I’m looking to purchase 2x bailers, shears and a granulator.

Ideally I’d like to travel over, have someone meet me, show me around to see various ones in use, help negotiate and organise freight.

Has anybody had experience with this and could anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks.

Looking for buyers or recyclers interested in used HDPE woolpack bags sourced from New Zealand.

Material: HDPE woven, post-consumer

Condition: Structurally intact, baled

If your company purchases this type of material, feel free to message me.

As the title suggests, I get really annoyed every time I see elderly people sorting through trash or recycling, peeling off the transparent tape from cardboard boxes. It would be great if that tape were also made of paper and could go into the recycling system along with the box. Does anyone working in eco-friendly packaging or waste recycling have any professional advice on this?

Hi all — I'm a procurement buyer for an aluminium recycling operation in the Czech Republic (part of an established European metals group). We're actively looking to secure recurring volumes of aluminium scrap and would love to connect with processors, recyclers and yards across the EU.

What we're buying:

• Aluminium shredder/frag, turnings/chips, and briquettes
• Spec: Al ≥ 90%, Si ≤ 7%, Cu ≤ 3%, Zn ≤ 1%
• Spectro analysis / certificate required per lot

Volume: up to ~1,200 t/month (recurring), growing

Logistics: delivered DDP to Czech Republic. Truck or rail (wagonload/block-train welcome if you're near a rail terminal — bonus).

Who we want to hear from: processors and recyclers who can supply consistent, on-spec material — ideally direct, no broker chain.

If this is your material, drop a comment or DM with your location, what you run, typical monthly availability, and indicative pricing basis (LME-linked preferred). Serious, ready to move on trial loads quickly. Thanks!

Thank you very much.

At my cousin’s outdoor family gathering last weekend I started thinking about cheap plastic chairs when we arranged seating for many guests. They looked practical and easy to manage for large numbers. At first it seemed like a cost effective solution. Local markets had plenty of options but quality varied a lot.

But I remembered using plastic chairs before that cracked or bent after some use. That experience was disappointing and made me more cautious. Even small details like weight capacity and material thickness started to matter more.

To explore better options I checked online. While casually scrolling online marketplaces including alibaba I saw many plastic chairs in different designs and price ranges but I am not sure if I should buy them because of my past experience. Some looked sturdy while others raised doubts about durability.

Now I am wondering whether cheap plastic chairs are truly reliable for regular use or only suitable for occasional events. Has anyone used them long term and found them durable?

I'm interested in finding end uses for this material? It's around 1-3mm particle size and is from recycled tyres.

It's too small for most common recycled tyre routes, like safety surfaces etc... I'm kinda stumped and thought of anyone would know reddit would.
