In the world of plastics recycling, the phrase “recycled product” can mean anything from a high-grade manufacturing input to a material prone to contaminants.
At Polymer Processors, we understand that inconsistency can stop a manufacturing floor cold. That’s why we’ve moved past the “mom and pop” approach to recycling. We’ve invested time and money in a sophisticated in-house laboratory function and state-of-the-art equipment.
For B2B buyers like you, this controlled environment and advanced testing process are the difference between production downtime and predictable, profitable output.
We realised some time ago that any processor could turn out a product, but meeting the tight controls needed for applications like film manufacturing requires focusing on the higher-end quality. Our lab is the nerve centre of this commitment.
We have a consistent approach from start to finish. Our technical experts, often referred to as “clever boffins” , sample for quality testing and perform trials on the materials we feed into the machinery.
For our manufacturing customers, this technical precision translates into three practical benefits:
1. Zero Tolerance for Contamination
The smallest inconsistency in your plastic pellets can cause significant problems, particularly for film blowers. That tiny particle of metal, dust, or sand that a lesser process misses can force you to stop and reset your machine.
Our lab-backed, multi-stage extrusion process acts as a rigorous filter, purifying the molten plastic and removing “intrusive contaminants”. This commitment to purity means a far more reliable, clean product for your floor.
2. Predictable Performance, Every Time
Recycled content, by its nature, will never be as perfectly good as virgin material, but we get as close as possible. Our lab ensures that the finished pellet’s properties are exactly what our customers requested.
When we send you a technical data sheet, you can be confident that’s what you’re actually going to get. This is the kind of data and assurance usually only provided by the really big, global companies. Our lab provides the controlled environment that ensures this consistency.
3. Protection of Your Investment
Your machinery is a major investment. You need a raw material that integrates seamlessly. By supplying a rigorously tested and consistently high-quality product, we take the “angst” out of using recycled content. This allows you to focus on your final product, rather than troubleshooting your plastic input.
In short, the lab is an investment in your consistency, your time, and your profitability.
As sustainability and the “green tickbox” become regulatory requirements, partnering with a quality leader is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. By choosing Polymer Processors, you are securing a supply of high-grade recycled plastic pellets that will help you proactively meet future targets and gain a competitive edge.
