POLYFINDERENABS-PS
ABS and polystyrene scrap: who buys it
ABS and polystyrenes (HIPS, GPPS, EPS) come from appliance and electronics housings, automotive parts, toys, cups and packaging. Clean production scrap is easy to place with compounders; post-consumer electronics plastics need sorting and documentation on flame retardants.
Types
- ABS production scrap and regrind
- HIPS and GPPS production scrap
- EPS (expanded polystyrene) blocks and densified ingots
- Mixed ABS/PS from electronics and appliances
Who buys it
Compounders and pelletizers of styrenics, injection moulders for technical parts, and EPS densifying/recycling plants.
Price drivers
- Single polymer and single colour first
- Flame-retardant content (electronics) restricts outlets
- Densified EPS ships far better than loose foam
What to tell buyers
- Polymer and source
- Colour
- Flame retardant or not, if known
- Form and packing
- Quantity and location
