Recycled Resin Quality: Why It Matters

Understanding the quality of recycle dresin and products is crucial for ensuring material performance, safety, and sustainability. Variability in contamination, polymer degradation, and processing history affects mechanical properties, durability, and compliance with industry standards. High-quality recycled resin enhances circular economy efficiency, reduces dependence on virgin materials, and minimises environmental impact while maintaining product reliability.

Our Expertise in RecycledMaterial Testing

1.     Material Selection for Recyclability: Guidancein selecting materials at the design stage to ensure the final product can be effectivelyrecycled without compromising performance.

2.     Quality and Consistency Testing: Recycled materials, particularly those from consumer waste, are often inconsistent and can vary in quality. We provide a comprehensive suite of physical, chemical, accelerated degradation, and mechanical performance testing to assess and maintain batch-to-batch consistency. Independent quality assurance in addition to the client’s in-house QC benefits are:

         - Unbiased Verification –Our independent testing provides an objective assessment, eliminating internal bias and ensuring            accurate quality validation which gives confidence to the end client/ consumer.

         -  Advanced Testing Capabilities –Our laboratory is equipped with comprehensive and specialised instrumentation and             expertise that may exceed in-house testing capabilities.

        -  Failure Prevention & Risk Mitigation – External validation detects inconsistencies or defects that might be overlooked             internally, preventing costly down stream failures or product recalls.

       -  Enhanced Credibility & Customer Confidence – Third-party verification strengthens trust with clients, regulators, and            stakeholders, reinforcing brand reputation and market acceptance.

 

3.     Failure Analysis: We identify degradation mechanisms and structural weaknesses in recycled products,delivering actionable insights to enhance material reliability and lifespan. Investigation of failures or premature failures in recycled products to determine the root.
