Polypropylene Recycling
If you wish to recycle Polypropylene (PP), the exchange service links generators of
PP waste materials with industrial consumers of raw Polypropylene feedstocks.
Please feel free to list your
Wanted or Available
requirements on the Polypropylene Plastic Recycling Exchange.
The exchange service has been successfully matching buyers and sellers on-line since 1995.
Polypropylene Waste
Recovered waste Polypropylene polymer resins is a commonly recycled scrap material.
While there are several
grades
of Polypropylene resins
from the recycling industry aspect we encounter Polypropylene wastes in two main forms,
solid or hard plastics and as a
textile fiber
waste.
Other than some additional requirements for material handling of
flexible filament fibers the recycling of fibers or solid plastics
is fundamentally the same. The recycling procedure involves 3 stages of material processing,
scrap,
regrind and
repro.
Polypropylene Scrap
The first stage of the recycling process is the segregation of
Polypropylene Scrap
into uniform grades
and the removal of any foreign materials or contamination.
The scrap material may be bundled or baled to facilitate transportation or material handling.
Polypropylene Regrind
The second stage of the recycling process is reducing various sizes and shapes of PP Scrap into a
uniform granule or
PP Regrind
suitable for blending and as an extruder feedstock.
Polypropylene Repro
The next stage of the recycling process is reprocessing the regrind into a resin pellet or compound with
specific technical specifications, colour, fillers etc.
The
Polypropylene Repro
becomes a raw feedstock in the manufacturing process worldwide.
Polypropylene Carpet Fiber Recovery
The process of recycling
carpet scrap
liberates the polypropylene face fiber which is sorted from other materials contained in the carpet.
The segregated polypropylene fibers may be recovered in the same fashion as any other
polypropylene scrap.
If you wish to deal in recovered
Polypropylene Carpet Fiber
please ADD your own inquiry to connect with waiting buyers & sellers.
Polypropylene Bulk Bags
Flexible Intermodal Bulk Containers (FIBC) or Polypropylene (PP) Bulk Bags are a mainstream staple in the recycling industry.
FIBCs sometimes referred to as super sacks are utilized as bulk shipping and storage bags
and are ideal in the handling of recyclable materials.
If you wish to buy or sell
Used Bulk Bags
please ADD an inquiry in the Used Commercial Containers Exchange.
The exchange service matches generators of reusable FIBCs with buyers that can reuse the bulk bags.
At the End of Life when the bulk bags can no longer be reused they can be recovered as
Polypropylene Bulk Bag Scrap.
