Recycled Plastic Materials
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Regrind
Our HDPE regrind comes from clean, post-industrial sources—primarily from returnable packaging manufacturing. This material delivers consistent quality for demanding applications.
Common applications:
- Injection molding
- Blow molding
- Extrusion for sheet and profile
- Rotationally molded products
Polypropylene (PP) Regrind
Our polypropylene regrind originates from packaging manufacturing scrap and industrial container production. Clean sorting and processing ensure material suitable for remanufacturing.
Common applications:
- Injection molding
- Packaging applications
- Fiber and textile applications
- Industrial sheet products
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Regrind
Our PET regrind comes from post-industrial sources including packaging manufacturing, sheet extrusion, and thermoforming operations.
Common applications:
- Thermoforming
- Sheet extrusion
- Injection molding
- Fiber applications
- Strapping and banding material
Performance Polymers & Engineering Resins
We source recycled engineering-grade polymers from automotive, electronics, and industrial manufacturing scrap streams.
Materials we source:
- Polycarbonate (PC): Automotive components, electronics housings, optical applications
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Automotive trim, electronics, appliance housings
- Nylon/Polyamide (PA): Automotive under-hood components, industrial gears and bearings
- Acetal/POM: Precision parts, gears, automotive fuel system components
- PC/ABS Blends: Automotive interior components, electronics, business equipment
Why Choose Recycled Industrial Plastics?
💰 Cost-Effective Solution
Save compared to virgin resin, with the same processing characteristics at a fraction of the cost.
🌱 Sustainable Choice
Reduce your carbon footprint while reducing costs. Recycled plastic production generates less CO2 than virgin resin manufacturing.
🔄 Flexible Sourcing Network
We work with manufacturing partners and regrind processors throughout North America to source materials matching your specifications. Our network allows access to material streams that might not be available through traditional resin suppliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does recycled plastic perform compared to virgin resin?
For most industrial applications, properly processed recycled HDPE and PP performs nearly identically to virgin resin.
Can I see material samples before purchasing?
Yes. We provide sample quantities of any material grade so you can run trials in your manufacturing process. This ensures compatibility before committing to larger quantities. Request samples when contacting us for quotes.
What minimum order quantities do you require?
Minimums vary by material type and grade. Full bulk container quantities have the best per-pound pricing, smaller quantities are available at higher per-unit costs, and truckload orders receive volume discounts.
Can you source specific grades or colors we need?
Yes. Our network of manufacturing partners and regrind processors allows us to source specific HDPE and PP grades, colors, and forms.

We Buy Industrial Scrap
Turn Your Manufacturing Waste Into Cash
We purchase post-industrial plastic and metal scrap from manufacturers across North America.
Plastic Scrap We Buy:
- HDPE and PP from injection molding operations
- Thermoforming scrap and trim waste
- Blow molding scrap and purge material
- Packaging manufacturing scrap (bins, pallets, containers)
- Clean, single-resin streams
Metal Scrap We Buy:
- Ferrous metals (steel, iron)
- Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel)
- Specialty alloys, including aerospace metals
- Industrial equipment and machinery
- Obsolete packaging (metal bins, wire baskets, racks)
Our Scrap Buying Process:
- Material Evaluation: Submit photos and description of scrap material types and volumes.
- Schedule a visit: Our team will come on-site if needed to assess materials and verify volume.
- Pricing Quote: We provide market-based pricing for your scrap materials
- Collection Coordination: We arrange pickup for larger quantities or provide drop-off options
- Payment: Payment is issued after the material is received and verified. Materials may require inspection, sorting, grading, identification, or processing prior to final settlement. Payment is based on verified quantities and applicable reports, if generated.
Why Work With Us:
- Competitive market-based pricing
- No minimum quantities for pickup (volume-dependent)
- Proper environmental handling and recycling
- Documentation for your sustainability reporting
- Ongoing scrap management relationships for consistent waste streams
Scrap Metal Buyback
We maintain relationships with metal recycling partners throughout our service area. We can facilitate scrap metal sales for:
- Obsolete industrial equipment
- Surplus returnable packaging (wire baskets, steel bins, racks)
- Manufacturing scrap metal
- Plant decommissioning projects
Contact us for current scrap metal pricing and pickup coordination. We work with trusted partners to ensure you receive fair market value for your metal scrap while simplifying your waste management logistics.
Additional Material Recycling Services
Material Testing & Analysis: Need detailed material characterization? We can coordinate third-party testing for melt flow index, density, tensile strength, impact resistance, IZOD testing, and contamination analysis. Testing ensures material compatibility with your processes before large-volume purchases.
Custom Processing: Do you require specific particle sizes, color concentrates, or material blends? We can arrange custom processing of recycled materials to meet your specifications. Minimum volumes apply for custom processing services.
Long-Term Supply Relationships: For manufacturers with consistent material needs, we can explore supply relationships when we have access to steady scrap streams from manufacturing partners. Availability and pricing depend on post-industrial material generation, but we work to establish reliable sourcing when possible.
All recycled materials are sold subject to availability, specifications, and grades based on current inventory and processing capabilities. Material properties may vary by batch; samples and testing are recommended before large-volume purchases.
