While Scientists Research, Mechanical Recycling Presses On
As a company that specializes in commercial plastic recycling, we are always interested in what science is doing to improve recycling as a whole. No recycling process is perfect. There are always better ways to do things. But we have noticed that so many research projects ultimately fall flat. Meanwhile, mechanical recycling presses on. Mechanical…

Read MoreAn Introduction to the Nuances of Post-Industrial Recycled Plastic (PIR)
As a company that specializes in industrial plastic recycling, we try to stay abreast of the latest trends in recycling and industrial plastics. In that pursuit, we recently noticed an emerging term that seems to be getting a lot more media play: post-industrial recycled (PIR). The term is applied to a specific type of plastics…
Read MoreDanish Project Utilizes Pyrolysis to Reclaim Plastic Waste
Here at Seraphim Plastics, we rely on a mechanical recycling process to turn scrap industrial plastic into reusable regrind. Although our process is both simple and effective, we are not able to recycle every type of plastic. There is always some plastic that goes to waste. That may eventually change thanks to a Danish research…
Read MoreInfrastructure and the Future of Plastic Recycling
It is common knowledge that less than 10% of all the plastics produced globally get recycled. Most of what does consists of post-industrial plastics that go to recyclers already sorted and cleaned. If we could figure out how to flip the numbers – to recycle 90% and dispose of 10% – how would all the…
