Hello Covers,
I am looking for some ideas on what to do with our rejection plastic pellets.
(We are a plastics compounder).
The universal answer is to sell it to a plastics scrap dealer - BUT - I do not have anywhere near the quantity they are looking for. They want truck loads, where as I have anywhere from 50# to 1000# (Of each lot) ( 35 lots ).
The resin types of each lot are different. Pebax, TPU, ABS, Isoplast, HDPE, SEBS... the list goes on.
The materials are taking up all the space I have in my NC Area.
I need ideas on how I can get rid of this stuff and possibly still make some money on it.
Why the materials are rejected?
Small black specks / carbon contamination
The color doesn't match what the customer wanted
Pellet Quality is Poor
Physical properties do not match what the customer wanted
Each of these rejected lots is a custom made formulation - which means the possibility of someone ordering the same exact thing is slim to none. If we could have reworked the material, it would have been done, but it has been determined that with these materials, we simply could not.
I appreciate any thoughts / ideas!
Thank you!
