We buy Plastic Scrap

Posted under Plastics - Mar 14th, 08

Plastic material shippingWe are in the market to purchase post industrial plastic scrap, plastic films and molding regrinds. We buy a wide range of plastic (Polymer) raw materials that are mainly post industrial or pre-consumer. We also buy post consumer Polymeric scrap but it has to be free of contamination like dirt, paper labels, organic matters, moisture and other polymer contamination such as Nylon, PVDF, PVC and other non-polyolefin plastics like polystyrene, PET, ABS and PBT, etc.

We are interested in clear, white and mixed colour plastic scrap. The major categories of plastic scrap that we buy include:

  • low density polyethylene (LDPE)
  • polypropylene (PP)
  • linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)
  • medium density polyethylene (MDPE)
  • high density polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
  • Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
  • Styrene

All these plastic scrap materials can be in any of the following colors and form:

Scrap Color: Clear, Mixed, Printed, White, Black

Scrap Forms: Bales, Rolls, Regrind, Repro, Loose, Purging, Drools, Chunks, Bags

Give us an inventory of the recyclable scrap you produce and we should be able to find you markets for all of it. If you are interested please contact us. We are interested in all kinds of plastic scrap but mostly food grade and pharmaceutical material as the source of scrap.
