Follow the material round the loop
Select a stage to see how plastic moves between virgin supplier, Macen, customer and end user — and comes back as recycled feedstock.
Virgin supplier
Prime LDPE and HDPE resin enters the process from accredited suppliers — companies like Sabic, Inabata and Ravago-backed partners in our supply network. This is the baseline material for applications that need near-virgin clarity and consistency.
- Prime resin for critical, appearance-sensitive film
- Balanced with recycled feedstock to reduce virgin demand
Process flow of scrap pick-up
From your plant floor to new resin
A documented five-stage recovery route, so your environmental team always knows where the material went.
- 01
Plastic waste
Film trims, liners and packaging waste generated at the customer plant.
- 02
Pick-up by Macen
Scheduled collection from your facility by our own logistics team.
- 03
Send to our factory
Material is delivered to the approved facility at Lima Technology Center.
- 04
Melting & shredding
Sorted, shredded and melted into a consistent melt stream.
- 05
Re-pelletized resin / recycled bag
Uniform pellets — or finished recycled bags — ready to re-enter production.
Re-pelletized resin
Four classes, four use cases
Re-pelletized resin is plastic processed from scrap or waste into small, uniform pellets, then reused in manufacturing — the same way virgin plastic pellets are used. We grade our output so you can match quality to application.
Class APremium
Class A recycled resin is the highest quality, with very clear, uniform pellets and minimal contamination. It is suitable for applications that require good appearance, consistency, and near-virgin performance.
Class BGeneral purpose
Class B recycled resin has slight color variation and minor impurities but remains clean and consistent overall. It is ideal for general-purpose products where aesthetics are less critical but strength and reliability are still important.
Class CIndustrial
Class C recycled resin shows noticeable discoloration and more variation in pellet shape and clarity. It is commonly used for non-critical or industrial applications where visual quality is not a priority.
Class DUtility
Class D recycled resin has the highest level of discoloration and contamination among the classes. It is best suited for low-grade applications, fillers, or products where appearance and precision are not required.
Extended Producer Responsibility
EPR under Republic Act 11898
Large enterprises are now required to recover the plastic packaging they put on the market. As an approved recycling facility, we help customers turn that obligation into a documented, working recovery stream.
- 01
Mandatory compliance
Requires large enterprises with assets exceeding ₱100 million to comply with the law, as failure to do so will result in penalties.
- 02
Product coverage
The program focuses on plastic packaging materials, covering both rigid and flexible plastics.
- 03
Actionable measures
Companies are expected to implement concrete measures to reduce plastic waste, including recovery, recycling and proper disposal initiatives.
- 04
Compliance mechanism
Compliance may be carried out individually or collectively through accredited Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs).
- 05
Registration
Companies are required to register their EPR programs with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB).
How we help
Recovery with documentation
We collect your post-industrial flexible plastic, process it at our approved facility, and provide the recovery records your EPR filing needs.
Our commitment
Plastic is too useful to waste
We do not position recycling as an add-on service. It is core capacity: an approved facility, a graded product line, and a standing offer to take back the material we sold you.
