Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)

What types of plastic does Resource Plastics recycle?

Resource Plastics primarily recycles post-industrial thermoplastics – the plastics left over from manufacturing processes. This includes a broad range of materials, such as ABS, PS, PET, PETG, various co-polyesters, PVC, PE, PP, TPO, PC (polycarbonate), and acrylic.

WHAT TYPES OF PLASTIC FORMS DOES RESOURCE PLASTICS ACCEPT?

Resource Plastics accepts a wide range of post-industrial plastic forms generated during manufacturing and distribution. These include Film, Totes, Bins, Corrugated sheets, Crates, Cutoffs, Lids, Caps, Pallets, Purge, Preforms, Bottles, Sprues, and Runners. 

Can recycled pellets replace virgin plastic resin?

Yes. The recycled plastic pellets we produce are designed to match virgin resin performance in many applications. Because we carefully sort the input and use advanced compounding techniques, the resulting pellets have consistent melt flow and properties.

Can you create custom plastic compounds or blends?

Absolutely. We offer custom compounding services to tailor recycled material to specific needs. If your project requires a certain material property (say, extra impact resistance, particular color, or specific melt flow), we can often adjust the blend of plastics or incorporate additives to achieve that.
