A system for producing a slug having a repeatable shape from a plastic bottle, including: a housing having an elongated shape, an axis in the direction of elongation, and an opening configured to receive the bottle in a generally coaxially orientation with the housing; a compacting subsystem adapted to compact the bottle substantially in a first direction within the housing; and a slug processing subsystem adapted to form a slug having a predefined form from the compacted bottle, the slug processing subsystem adapted to form the slug by application of force in at least a second direction, substantially normal to the first direction. |
