How should I handle the plastic wastes that I have?

Handling plastic waste properly is crucial to ensuring it can be recycled effectively. Before any plastic waste can be processed, it needs to be assessed for its suitability for recycling. If the waste is made of composite materials (plastic combined with other materials), it is unlikely to be recyclable through our methods.

To maximize the recyclability of your plastic waste, it's important to prevent contamination with other materials such as food, dirt, or non-plastic items. Plastic is highly sensitive to contamination, and any mixed or dirty waste may not be suitable for recycling. Sorting the plastic properly and ensuring it is clean will significantly improve the chances of it being recycled.

We recommend sorting the materials clearly and contacting us to discuss the specifics before sending the waste over. This will help ensure the recycling process goes smoothly and effectively.

Can I send the plastic waste to your recycling plant?

Yes, we can certainly receive your plastic waste, provided it is in a condition suitable for recycling and meets our minimum order quantity (MOQ). We recommend that you contact us directly to assess the material before sending it over, so we can ensure everything aligns with our processing requirements. This way, we can make the recycling process as smooth and efficient as possible.

Please feel free to get in touch with us, and we’ll be happy to discuss the details further!

Can you provide Open-top Containers (OTC) for our plastic waste disposal?

Yes, we can provide Open-top Containers (OTC) for your plastic waste disposal. However, we would need to assess the quantity of plastic waste you have and the frequency of collection to ensure we can meet your specific needs effectively.

Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can discuss the details and tailor the solution to your requirements.

How does A~Star Plastics ensure that the plastic scraps we provide is fully recycled and reintegrated into the circular economy, rather than ending up in landfills or incineration?

At A~Star Plastics, we are fully committed to supporting the circular economy by ensuring that the plastic waste we receive is processed and reintegrated back into the manufacturing cycle. Once the plastic is assessed and confirmed to be suitable for recycling, we use mechanical recycling processes to convert it into high-quality plastic pellets that can be used to produce new products. This keeps the material in use and reduces the need for virgin plastics.

We prioritize transparency in our operations, and none of the recyclable plastic we can handle is sent to landfills or incineration. For customers who are particularly focused on sustainability, we can also provide documentation to trace how the waste has been recycled. By doing this, we help close the loop and contribute to a more sustainable, resource-efficient future.

I would like to re-use the plastic waste streams back into my production process, can you assist in this?

First of all, thank you considering reusing back your plastic waste! At A~Star Plastics, we share your commitment to sustainability and are well-positioned to support your efforts to re-use plastic waste streams in your production process.

Our recycling capabilities, particularly in plastic extrusion, enable us to reprocess various plastic materials, ensuring they meet the quality standards for reuse. We’d be happy to explore how we can integrate your plastic waste streams into our recycling system and feed them back into your production. Of course, each waste stream can vary in its properties, so we can work closely with you to assess the specific needs and ensure the best possible outcome for your products.

Please do contact us to discuss the details and see how we can collaborate to make this happen.
