With expertise in both regrinds and pellets, BBP provides industries with flexible options to meet their specific manufacturing needs. From sustainable regrinds for less demanding applications to standardized pellets for precise manufacturing processes, BBP contributes to a more eco-friendly and versatile plastic supply chain.
Plastic regrinds and plastic pellets are both forms of recycled plastic materials, but they differ in terms of their physical characteristics and how they are used in various applications.
Plastic pellets, also known as resin pellets, are small, uniform, and cylindrical granules of plastic. They are manufactured through an extrusion and pelletizing process.
Plastic pellets are the primary form of material used in plastic manufacturing. They can be melted and molded directly into new products without the need for additional processing steps.
Pellets are consistently sized and have a regular shape, which facilitates their use in automated manufacturing processes
Pellets are widely used in various industries for producing a wide range of plastic products, including packaging, automotive components, consumer goods, medical devices, and more.
Pellets offer more precise control over the material’s properties and appearance. They are easy to handle and feed into automated manufacturing processes.
Plastic regrinds are small pieces or particles of plastic that result from the grinding or shredding of plastic waste, such as post-industrial scrap or post-consumer plastic products.
Regrinds are often used as a raw material in plastic processing. They need to be melted and reprocessed to form new plastic products.
Regrinds can vary in size and consistency, depending on the process used for grinding. They may have irregular shapes and sizes.
Regrinds are commonly used in applications where the appearance of the final product is not a primary concern. They are used in less demanding applications, such as some industrial components, plastic lumber, and certain types of packaging.
Regrinds are a cost-effective way to reuse plastic waste, as they can be produced from various sources of scrap plastic.
