At Plastic Supplies Dudley, we are proud to lead the way in sustainable manufacturing. As one of the UK’s most established plastic injection moulding companies, we’ve been helping businesses meet their production goals since 1969 – always adapting to industry needs. Today, that includes reducing waste, cutting costs, and delivering consistent quality using recycled plastic.
Let’s explore how recycled plastic injection moulding can add commercial and environmental value to your production.
Why Manufacturers Are Choosing Recycled Plastic
Using recycled plastics in injection moulding is a practical and powerful step towards sustainability. At PSD, we granulate and reprocess scrap from our own operations wherever possible. This material is remoulded into new components, reducing landfill waste and cutting the need for virgin plastic.
We also source high-quality reprocessed materials such as recycled polypropylene and nylon. This gives us flexibility while keeping full control over material inputs – critical for quality assurance.
How Recycled Injection Moulding Helps Businesses Succeed
More companies now demand green credentials in their supply chain. Recycled plastic injection moulding is not only sustainable – it’s commercially strategic.
1. Waste Reduction
We use internal scrap material from sprues and runners to mould new parts. This limits production waste and maximises material use.
2. Cost Savings
By reducing reliance on raw materials, we pass cost savings on to our customers. Competitive pricing is a key reason businesses choose PSD.
3. Enhanced Sustainability
Recycled plastics have a lower carbon footprint. Working with us supports your ESG goals without compromising on quality.
4. Appealing to Eco-Conscious Customers
Four out of five consumers now favour brands with a visible sustainability agenda. Using recycled materials helps you align with this demand.
5. Supporting the Circular Economy
By prioritising recycled inputs, we close the loop on plastic use and build a more responsible manufacturing model.
Our Process: From Waste to Finished Component
We offer full traceability for recycled materials. Here’s how we manage the process:
- Granulation: Clean production scrap is ground into re-usable pellets.
- Material Sorting: Only materials that meet our strict standards are remoulded.
- Injection Moulding: The recycled plastic is melted and injected into precision-engineered moulds to produce new parts.
- Quality Checks: Every part is inspected for strength, accuracy, and finish.
We maintain this closed-loop system to ensure quality and performance for every batch – while supporting your sustainability goals.
