Engineering Plastics
Recycling
Engineering plastics recycling recovers high-performance resins — ABS, Nylon, PBT, Polycarbonate (PC), and PC/ABS blends — from manufacturing scrap, production rejects, and end-of-life products. These materials have significantly higher value per pound than commodity plastics.
What We Accept
All items processed through certified facilities with full documentation.

Identification
Resin identified by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) analysis or burn testing. Accurate identification is critical — engineering plastics command 5-10x commodity prices.
Sorting
Separated by resin type, color, and grade. Filled vs unfilled. Virgin vs regrind. Cross-contamination between resin types eliminated.
Grinding
Parts and runners ground to consistent particle size. Screened to remove fines and oversized pieces.
Compounding
Regrind blended, pelletized, and quality-tested to meet specification for injection molding. Often sold back into the same industry that generated the scrap.

Engineering Plastics Questions
Common questions about engineering plastics recycling.
Back to Plastics arrow_forwardSignificantly more than commodity plastics. Clean ABS regrind can be $0.30-$0.60/lb. Nylon and PC are often higher. Virgin resin overstock or off-spec material commands the best prices. We quote based on resin type, grade, and volume.
Yes — injection molding runners, sprues, and purge material are our most common engineering plastic stream. Keep resins separated (don't mix ABS with PC) for best value.
Yes. Glass-filled nylon (GF-Nylon 66, GF-Nylon 6) is accepted. Glass content must be identified — 30% glass-filled nylon is processed differently than unfilled. We test glass content before pricing.
Yes. Plant closures and production line changes often generate large volumes of engineering plastic scrap — inventory, WIP, regrind stockpiles, and reject parts. We coordinate rapid pickup and processing.
