PP regrind, mixed color

Polypropylene (PP) regrind refers to recycled plastic material that has been mechanically ground or shredded from scrap or used PP products. It is typically derived from industrial scrap, post-consumer goods, or defective products. This version is mixed color, meaning it contains a variety of colors blended together, rather than being sorted by individual color.

Source and Origin

PP regrind mixed color can originate from:

• Automotive parts (e.g., bumpers, battery cases)

• Packaging materials (e.g., caps, containers)

• Household products (e.g., storage boxes, furniture parts)

• Industrial waste (e.g., production runners, rejects)

  Physical Characteristics

  • Form: Flake or granular form, irregular in shape

  • Size: Typically 5–15 mm (can vary)

  • Color: Mixed (a blend of various colors, resulting in a grayish or muddy hue)

  • Odor: Slight plastic smell (varies based on source)

  • Contamination Level: May contain traces of labels, paper, metal, or other plastics if not thoroughly cleaned

    Applications

    Mixed color PP regrind is often used in non-aesthetic or functional parts where color is not critical. Common applications include:

    • Injection molding for bins, pallets, and containers

    • Automotive parts (non-visible components)

    • Construction materials (e.g., plastic lumber, panels)

    • Compounders and masterbatch manufacturers as a base material
