Common questions
What is the difference between the three forms?
Regranulate is pelletized material. Regrind is size-reduced material with irregular particles. Baled material is recovered material compacted for handling and transport. Each needs a different specification.
Is post-industrial always better than post-consumer?
Origin alone does not determine suitability. Evaluate the source, preparation, properties and consistency of the actual material against the intended use.
Do you publish live stock or fixed prices?
Material availability and commercial terms are confirmed through an inquiry. Send the form, specification, quantity and destination so the discussion can be specific.
Can I request a sample or documents?
Yes. State what you need in your inquiry. Sample and document availability, costs and scope are confirmed for the proposed material.
Is every material suitable for food contact?
No. A general HDPE or recycled-material description is not evidence of food-contact suitability. Such applications need specific supporting documentation and review.
What should I include in an offer?
Send form, source, colour, preparation, known contamination, quantity, frequency, location and recent photographs. Include test or source information where available.
What if I do not know the exact grade?
Describe the source and form as accurately as you can. Select “Not sure” where appropriate and explain what information is available.
