Plastic recycling companies · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to share lot photos and rates with buyers and scrap suppliers.

WhatsApp marketing for a plastic recycler means using the app buyers and aggregators already use to share stock, photos, lot sheets and replies. GullySales sets up a business account, message templates and handling rules, and checks the platform's current rules before any broadcast.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For plastic recycling companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Trade runs on photos and voice notes”

    A scrap dealer sends a bale photo, a moulder asks for a colour shot. If the plant answers from a personal phone, the history leaves with the employee.

  • “A broadcast is not a conversation”

    Sending the same rate list to everyone feels efficient and irritates buyers who asked for one grade. Group the contacts by material and send only what that person buys.

  • “Consent decides whether messages are welcome”

    A buyer who has asked for stock updates will read them. A bought list will report the number. Ask for permission, record it, and give an easy way to stop.

  • “The reply time sets the impression”

    A moulder deciding between two recyclers judges the one who answers with a lot sheet and a photo as the more serious. A late or vague reply loses the trial.

What we do

What we deliver for plastic recycling companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A business account and profile

    A WhatsApp Business setup with the plant's name, address, catalogue of grades and opening hours.

    Result: A buyer sees a proper business profile, not a personal number.

  2. Grouped contact lists

    Buyers, suppliers and brand contacts held in separate lists by material, with consent noted.

    Result: Each message goes to a list that asked for it.

  3. Message templates

    Ready wording for sample offers, lot announcements, rate changes and supplier pick-up confirmations.

    Result: The team replies in a consistent voice.

  4. A lot sheet sharing routine

    A tidy way to send the sheet and a photo with each quote or sample, saved against the buyer's record.

    Result: Every sheet sent is traceable to a conversation.

  5. Handling rules for the team

    Who answers, who owns a chat after an hour, and what moves to a phone call.

    Result: No enquiry sits without an owner.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to capture or send

Send each contact only the photo, sheet or rate their material needs.

Lot photo with colour reference
A clear picture of the granule beside a colour chip or the previous lot, sent to a moulder who asked for a shade check. Record that it was sent with the lot number.
Lot sheet as a PDF
The standard sheet for the lot in question, sent after a sample is dispatched. It lets the production manager forward it to the purchase head without retyping.
Bale buying note
For aggregators only: what the plant is taking now, and in which condition. Send it to those who agreed to receive it, with a plain way to stop.
Weighbridge slip photo
After a load is weighed, send the slip image to the supplier. It settles arguments about weight before the payment call is made.
Consent to receive stock updates
Note when and how each buyer or supplier agreed. Without a record, a complaint about unwanted messages cannot be answered, and the number may be reported.
Trial feedback question
A single line after delivery asking how the lot ran. The reply is copied into the record so that the plant manager sees it.

Who it is for

This is written for these plastic recycling companies.

  • PET bottle flake and fibre-grade recyclers
  • HDPE and PP granule makers for moulded goods and crates
  • LDPE film and agricultural plastic recyclers
  • Washing and pelletising units that process mixed post-consumer plastic
  • Recyclers who convert waste into finished goods like pipes, pallets and furniture
  • Industrial scrap recyclers buying regrind from moulders
  • Collection and aggregator businesses that sell sorted bales
  • Recyclers working with producers and brand owners on take-back

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Staff use personal phones for all trade chats, so a business account would sit unused while the real conversations stay elsewhere.
  • You have no list of people who agreed to hear from you, so a broadcast would go to strangers and risk the number.
  • Nobody can reply to photos and voice notes on the day they arrive, so buyers would wait and move to another recycler.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we send rate lists to everyone?
Not as a habit. Send to contacts who asked for it, grouped by material, and check the platform's current rules on business messages. Rates change, so say clearly that a quote is confirmed only on call or in writing.
Should payment details be shared on WhatsApp?
Keep payment, bank and invoice details to the channels your accounts person controls. Use chat for enquiries, photos and confirmations, and verify any change of account by a call to a known number.
Can the plant keep using voice notes with suppliers?
Yes for the conversation, but follow with a written line confirming weight, rate and payment day. A voice note cannot be searched later, and a dispute about a load needs something both sides can read back.
Should every buyer be in one broadcast group?
No. Keep buyers by polymer and suppliers by scrap type in separate lists. A PET flake buyer has no use for an HDPE regrind rate, and sending it makes them ignore the next message, which may be the one they needed.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
