Sell Your Scrap ABS Plastic
Unlock the inherent value in your scrap Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Greenview purchases waste ABS plastic generated from diverse sources like manufacturing processes, end-of-life electronics (WEEE), and automotive components across the UK. We offer competitive rebates and provide sustainable recovery solutions with reliable nationwide collection.
Understanding Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
ABS is a highly regarded engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent combination of properties: toughness, rigidity, impact strength (even at low temperatures), good heat resistance, and ease of processing (injection moulding, extrusion, forming). This makes it a popular choice for durable applications requiring a good surface finish. Common uses include computer housings (keyboards, monitors, printers), casings for electronic devices and small appliances, automotive interiors (dashboards, consoles, trims), protective luggage, pipe fittings, and famously, LEGO bricks. Due to its value, recovering clean ABS scrap is economically and environmentally beneficial.
What Forms of ABS Scrap Do We Purchase?
Greenview focuses on acquiring clean, well-segregated post-industrial and commercial ABS waste streams. Mixed plastic bales containing ABS are generally unsuitable unless specifically processed. We are interested in:
- ABS Injection Moulding Scrap: Includes regrind, rejected parts, runners, and sprues, often generated in the electronics or automotive sectors. Material should ideally be colour-sorted or natural.
- ABS Sheet Offcuts / Skeletal Waste: Clean scrap resulting from vacuum forming, fabrication, or cutting processes.
- ABS Computer / Electronics Housings: Recovered from WEEE recycling streams. Needs to be well-segregated from other plastics (like HIPS) and typically supplied shredded or baled. Note: ABS containing Flame Retardants (FR ABS) needs to be clearly identified as it requires different handling.
- ABS Appliance Components: Sorted scrap derived from dismantling white goods or other appliances.
- Key Requirement: Purity and segregation are vital for ABS recycling. Contamination from other plastics, metals, or excessive dirt drastically reduces its value.
