How Industrial Plastics Recycling Can Transform Your Manufacturing Operations

For many manufacturers, recycling isn't top of mind—especially when it comes to the materials generated during production. But industrial plastics recycling is more than just an eco-friendly gesture. It can save money, reduce risk, and enhance your company’s reputation.

Here’s how implementing a recycling program for industrial plastics can reshape your operations—and why now’s the time to start.

What Is Industrial Plastics Recycling?
Industrial plastics recycling involves recovering and reprocessing the plastic waste created during manufacturing. This could be anything from purging scrap to off-spec parts, plastic shavings, or outdated materials.

Instead of sending that waste to a landfill—where it adds to environmental burden—it can be collected, sorted, and processed into reusable plastic feedstock.

How the Process Works
At SEB Recycling Solutions, we work directly with manufacturers to make recycling plastics easy and efficient. We’ll assess your operation, determine the types and volumes of plastic waste you produce, and develop a customized pickup and processing plan.

The plastic is sorted by resin type, cleaned, shredded or ground down, and reprocessed into pellets or flakes. These can then be reintroduced into the production cycle—either by your business or by others in the plastics industry.

4 Ways Industrial Plastics Recycling Benefits Manufacturers

1. Lower Waste Disposal Costs
Landfilling industrial plastic waste is expensive—and regulations are tightening. Recycling helps reduce the volume of waste that needs to be hauled off and disposed of, cutting your costs over time.
2. Reduced Material Expenses
Buying virgin plastic can be costly. By recycling and reusing your own material or sourcing recycled plastic, you may reduce material costs and gain more control over your supply chain.
3. More Stable Supply, Less Risk
Recycled plastic offers a more predictable cost structure and greater availability. When supply chain interruptions or price hikes hit virgin materials, companies relying on recycled plastic stay more stable and adaptable.
4. A Stronger Corporate Reputation
More businesses and consumers are watching how companies handle their environmental responsibilities. A plastics recycling program helps demonstrate your commitment to sustainability—and can help build trust with eco-conscious partners and customers.
