EPL plastics

With a senior staff having an average of 26 years in the plastic repurposing industry, together with you, EPL Plastics can identify changes in your recycled waste management procedures that can save you time, enhance your environmental stewardship and improve your bottom line. We've partnered with plastic product manufacturers in the automotive, packaging, horticultural and profiling industries to repurpose their scrap plastic and produce high quality regrinds or pellets they can reuse in their processes.

WHY RECYCLED PLASTICS? 
Give new life to off-spec products and production waste
Plastic scrap recycling is not only a way of saving money but also an important part of corporate responsibility. Our regrinds and reprocessed plastic resin is sold to plastic goods manufacturers who do injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, compounding, and more. Our regrinds can be used in a number of processes to save money. Some of our customers use our plastic regrind and resin at 100%, some use as an extender. At whatever usage level, recycled plastic results in a major cost savings and also promotes green plastics.

PLASTICS WE BUY
From dense purges to thin sheets and parts to regrinds of all plastics, convert most plastic scraps into a reusable form: i.e: densified grinds and pellets. We commonly purchase polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, ABS, TPE and many more.

PLASTICS WE SELL
We only sell recycled plastics that have gone through our required extensive recycling process. These requirements may include lab analysis, grinding, densifying, shredding, blending and compounding of incoming plastic waste. We inspect and approve every product as fit for purpose and duty by checking consistency and durability.

TOLL SERVICES

What's the process?

• Grinding - The process of tolling invariably begins with the size reduction of raw material. While there are a variety of granulation methods, we typical use a granulator to grind down the plastic into usable regrind form for further processing.

• Aspiration – A method used to seperate undesirable components comingled within some recyclable materials.

• Densifying - A mothod used for increasing the bulk density of recycleable plastics which are difficult to grind or process using conventional grinders/shredders.

• Blending - By pre/post blending of reprocessable resins and pellets we can enhance the consistency of up to 40,000 lbs per blend using our state of the art blending technologies. This process would result in a uniform resin performance box to box.

• Pelletizing - A method used to melt, mix and homogenize recycled resins to achieve our customers individually specialized requirements. Our compounding facility is fully capable of reprocessing your scrap plastics back into reuseable pellets.

• Custom compounding - This enables EPL Plastics to assist in identifying the most efficient additive and colour solutions.

• Quality Assurance – Within our inhouse lab we maintain the highest quality metrics and assurance processes at every stage. We constantly strive to maintain a high standard of repeatability, service, technology, and proactive manufacturing.
