Trust Us to Buy and Sell Your Plastics
Blue Ocean Plastics is driven by two central goals. The first is to reduce the strain put on the Earth’s quickly dwindling natural resources. The second is to save our customers from wasting their valuable plastic waste and spending precious dollars on purchasing costly virgin materials.We achieve these goals by offering closed-loop recycling services. Closed-loop practices ensure that each step of the recycling process, starting with the baling of your plastic waste to the granulation of our newly recycling materials, are done on-site at our extensive processing center.
PVC plastics are used for a variety of products, such as building materials, packaging films and automotive parts. In its more rigid form, it can be considerably difficult for some recycling facilities to break down PVC scrap into reusable raw materials.As a result, PVC compounding is a highly specialized process that requires careful attention to the nature of the material being melted into a reusable form. We employ only the most highly-trained compounding experts to handle this important service.
Preparing PVC Scrap
Prior to the introduction of heat during the recycling process, PVC waste must be ground into finer pieces to facilitate the goal of producing a cohesive material that our customers can use for their plastic manufacturing needs.Once the grinding part of this multiple-step process is complete, Blue Ocean Plastics blends these small particles with PVC additives that help the melted plastic achieve the desired consistency and color. We then collaborate with each customer to ensure their PVC product has the necessary properties for their future manufacturing processes. Once the blend is confirmed, we compound the materials.
Many plastic manufacturers lack the industrial resources to transform raw PVC plastic into finished products. Especially for credit card companies, which may only print on and punch out their products from PVC sheets. For these companies, sending their PVC scrap to a recycling center may create a conundrum of what to do with the recycled products once returned to their manufacturing location.
Blue Ocean Plastics eliminates any reservations that our customers may have about using another company for their granulation needs. Our 120,000 square-foot processing center offers granulation options in addition to our PVC grinding and PVC mixing services.
How Granulation Works
To ensure our customers receive the highest quality recycled plastic materials, we strongly recommend that businesses send their PVC scrap to us in its original form so that we can oversee the entire recycling process. This process begins with our PVC grinding services, which quickly and uniformly break down plastic scrap into reusable elements.Next, we work closely with each of our customers to ensure the ideal bulk blend for each of their manufacturing needs. This means creating an ongoing dialogue that clearly distinguishes specifications regarding color, consistency and other product features. Upon finishing the bulk blending process, we can transform the plastic blend into any number of PVC products, including PVC sheets and PVC rolls.
