Plastic Scraps

Plastic Scraps refer to discarded or leftover plastic materials generated from manufacturing processes, post-industrial usage, or recycling streams. These materials are commonly collected, sorted, and processed for reuse in various plastic manufacturing and recycling applications. Plastic scraps play a significant role in reducing waste and supporting sustainable production cycles by reintroducing usable polymer content into the supply chain.

Specification points:

• Material Type: Mixed thermoplastic polymers such as PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
• Form: Irregular cut pieces, flakes, regrind, shredded fragments, or lumps depending on source processing
• Size Range: Typically varies from 5 mm to 50 mm, subject to shredding and grinding processes
• Color: Mixed or sorted color categories including transparent, white, black, and assorted shades
• Moisture Content: Generally maintained at low levels after drying, suitable for processing in extrusion and molding
• Contamination Level: May contain minor impurities depending on collection and sorting efficiency; further cleaning may be required
• Density: Varies according to polymer type, generally ranging between 0.90 to 1.40 g/cm³
• Melting Range: Dependent on polymer category, typically between 120°C to 260°C for common thermoplastics
• Processing Use: Suitable for reprocessing into granules, pellets, sheets, pipes, films, and molded plastic products
• Storage Condition: Should be stored in dry, clean, and ventilated areas to avoid contamination and degradation

Plastic scraps are widely used in recycling industries, compounding units, and manufacturing facilities as a cost-effective raw material alternative. Proper sorting and handling ensure better quality output in reprocessed plastic products.
