he plastic waste we turn into regrind comes from two sources. There are many rejected parts produced by plastics manufacturers. These are parts with blemishes, incomplete molding, or incorrect specifications. Thereâ??s no point in throwing them out, so they get recycled. The other source is scrap waste. For example, consider an injection molding machine that produces plastic crates. The complexity of the mold results in a lot of flashing attached to molded parts. That flashing is removed before a crate is sent down the line. Flashing, runners, moils, etc. all constitute a waste. But it can be recycled through grinding. We buy such waste from plastics manufacturers all the time. We then grind it down and pass it through a series of ferrous and nonferrous metal detectors, along with magnets, to guarantee that the finished material is free of contaminants. Now that you know what regrind is, letâ??s talk about why you should care. The availability of plastic regrind could mean different things depending on your position. Let us start with plastic manufacturers and their propensity for producing waste. If you operate a plastics plant, what do you do with the waste you produce? A lack of in-house grinding capabilities suggests you send your waste to a landfill. We offer a better solution. We will actually pay you for your plastic waste. Why send it to a landfill when you can make money on it instead? On the other hand, your company might be looking for less expensive recycled materials for manufacturing new plastic parts. Mixing a bit of regrind with virgin plastic fits your plan. Well, we might sell the very kind of regrind youâ??re looking for. The only way to know is to contact us and ask. Plastic regrind is essentially ground-up plastic waste that can be repurposed. It is one of the products we sell to customers all across the country.
