ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

You can rely on our huge appetite for this high-value thermoplastic, which our customers use in extrusion or injection moulding processes.

Applications and uses of ABS

Common ABS uses and examples are:

Car body parts
Vacuum-formed transit trays and cut sheet parts from thermoforming
Toys / stock rejects / recycling facilities / MRF’s
WEEE – derived scrap (monitor / TV cases) - mainly from AATF’s

Common ABS contamination issues

Your clean ABS will demand the highest prices, but we can also help you with materials which are contaminated with metal, PS, or other materials. The worst contaminant in ABS is PVC.

How we can recycle your ABS

Your clean ABS will be used by an injection moulders within the UK. We usually export contaminated ABS for use in low-value applications.
