Recycled Plastic Regrind
Plastic Regrind is recovered plastic material that has been mechanically shredded or ground into smaller pieces for reuse in plastic processing. Regrind may originate from production scrap such as runners, sprues, rejected parts and other suitable plastic waste. Energycle
Unlike pelletized recycled plastic, regrind generally retains an irregular flake/chip form rather than being remelted and formed into uniform pellets.
• Mechanically processed plastic
• Available in different polymer types
• Lower processing stage than pelletized material
• Can be supplied as flakes/chips
• Suitable for further processing
• Quality depends on polymer identification, cleanliness and sorting
Shruti International can potentially categorize regrind by polymer:
• PP Regrind
• HDPE Regrind
• LDPE Regrind
• PET Regrind
• ABS Regrind
• PC Regrind
• PVC Regrind
Plastic regrind can be used as feedstock for:
• Injection molding
• Extrusion
• Compounding
• Plastic products
• Industrial components
• Recycled plastic manufacturing
Buyers commonly evaluate:
• Polymer type
• Color
• Contamination
• Moisture
• Particle size
• MFI/MFR where applicable
• Source
• Material consistency
The exact specification should always be confirmed for the individual lot because regrind quality can vary significantly depending on its source and processing history. PPP, LLC.
