ABS PLASTIC WASTE DISPOSAL
Contact Us Today to discuss ABS plastic recycling
We recycle most types of ABS plastic which includes redundant containers, casing from electrical components and other items commonly used in UK manufacturing. ABS, also known as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, is a polymer that is composed of three different monomers. These components are acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. The overall property of ABS plastic depends on the constituent proportion of the monomers.
How Our ABS Plastic Recycling Process Works
In order to drive commercial and environmental efficiencies, we usually require a minimum of 4 tonnes of scrap ABS plastic. This material should be free from contaminants such as metal screws, rivets, and non-ABS plastic material. Depending on the weight & volume of materials, we can collect the waste ABS plastic if the material is stacked in pallets, stored in stillages/boxes or compacted using a baler.
Once the scrap ABS plastic has been collected using our network of haulage partners, the material is processed at a fully licensed recycling facility. Initially, the material is inspected for quality and also weighed to ensure accurate environmental reporting.
The next stage of the recycling process for ABS is where the material is shredded and eventually passed through a granulator. Here, the material is then used within the injection moulding process.
ABS Plastic Properties
Is ABS plastic recyclable?
Yes, ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is recyclable. It is commonly used in products such as toys, appliances, vapes, and automotive parts. It is a thermoplastic polymer, which means it can be melted and reshaped multiple times without losing its properties.
ABS is a widely used plastic material notable for its robustness and versatility. Through our ABS material recycling services, our company aims to bring countless benefits to both industry and the environment.
ABS is heavily utilised in various industries because of its high-impact resistance and ability to withstand tough conditions. From automotive parts to products produced through injection molding, the potential applications of ABS are nearly limitless.
