Plastic Recycling

Testing & Identifying Plastic Waste for Recycling

Recycling is a challenge we face together. Plastic manufacturers, retailers and government, are working to control plastic pollution on land and in our oceans, by evolving ever more circular economies. And polymer recycling is rising to the challenge, so that plastics once destined for landfills are now recycled into new products.

To get better quality of recycled polymers, it’s important to pre-sort plastics, so accurate identification leading to proper separation is critical for the industrial plastic recycling process. Plus, it’s important to check the mechanical properties of polymers and have a final quality check of the end product. Our solutions make use of the most commonly-used techniques which can be performed throughout the entire recycling process allowing for an in-depth understanding of the materials from start to finish. These cover:

  • Raw Materials Identification
  • Polymer/Material Characterization
  • Mechanical and Thermal Characterization

Our recycling package supports the Plastic Identification Codes (PIC), used worldwide for packaging applications. PIC provides a uniform system for the identification of various polymer types and to help recycling companies separate various plastics for reprocessing.
