HIPS Recycling For UK Businesses

Our company offers a sustainable solution for disposing of high impact polystyrene sheets (HIPS) plastic waste. HIPS is a type of thermoplastic sheet that has a wide range of applications, including vacuum forming, electronics, soft drink cups and construction materials, which is why it is commonly used in the manufacturing of various products.

However, when not properly disposed of, HIPS plastic can contribute to environmental pollution. This is why our HIPS plastic recycling service is so important. When this material is thrown away with other general waste, the material cannot be recycled. It can also only be recycled with specific businesses such as ourselves, who deal with these types of plastics at licensed centres.

How Are High Impact Polystyrene Sheets Produced?

This type of plastic material is a rubber modified version of general purpose polystyrene. Adding this modification makes it more durable, which is why it is used for products in need of a higher impact resistance. The impact strength of the polymer results in a strong product ideal for packaging applications.

The Benefits Of HIPS Recycling

One of the main benefits of recycling high impact polystyrene sheets is that it can be recycled into a wide range of new products. The recycled HIPS can be used in the production of new HIPS sheets, which can be repurposed and introduced back into the market. Recycled high impact polystyrene is just as strong and consistent as new HIPS, which means it can be used in the same way as virgin HIPS.

Your HIPS Can Be Recycled Into New Products With Our Help

Through recycling, we are helping to reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in waste-to-energy plants. Polystyrene foam is also littered more than any other waste product—despite it being only 1% of all waste, it makes up 10 to 40% of litter found in streams. This is why it is so important to dispose of your plastic waste safely, and sustainably.
