Collaboration call to
boost plastics recycling
‘ M a n u f a c t u r e r s n e e d t o c o n s i d e r u s i n g a l t e r n a t i v e p o l y m e r t y p e s ’
Injection moulders, manufacturers,
and plastics recyclers working in partner-
ship is key to new end markets for recycled
polymers, meeting rising demand for
recycled content and improving the overall
economics of recycling, says UK-based
Axion Polymers.
With more manufacturers, especially
those in the automotive and electrical
and electronics sectors, looking to
increase recycled content in new
goods, the plastics recycler suggests
this presents opportunities for injec-
tion moulders to consider alternatives
to virgin material.
AS GOOD AS VIRGIN
At Axion’s two processing sites, plas-
tics recovered from end-of-life vehi-
Moulders who work closer with recy-
clers can gain a competitive advantage
in emerging circular economy markets,
according to Axion.
