plastic identification
To aid with polymer identification for plastic recycling purposes, many plastic product manufacturers mark their products with a plastics identification marking system, but this only covers the major plastic groups which are currently being recycled. Many other plastics types are classed as “Others” in the system.
If you have any trouble identifying plastic products, Polyfab would gladly be willing to assist in identifying the polymers.
Polyethylene Terephthalate
High Density Polyethylene
Polyvinylchloride (PVC)
Low Density Polyethylene
Polypropylene
Polystyrene
All other resins
If you have surplus plastic materials (scrap / waste, regrind / reground, compound) of any type available for disposal / recycling please send us the details and we will get back to you as soon as possible, alternatively you can call us now on
