How Manufacturers Reuse Plastic Scrap In-house
Plastic scrap is no longer treated purely as waste.
Manufacturers increasingly recover and reuse production scrap internally.
Common materials include:
- sprues
- runners
- edge trim
- rejected parts
- purgings
Granulators allow material to be processed into reusable regrind.
This reduces:
- virgin resin usage
- disposal costs
- material waste
Integrated systems can also automate scrap handling using conveyors and pneumatic transfer systems.
