Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry operate under tight margins and intense pressure to deliver quality parts efficiently. Alongside these demands comes an often-overlooked challenge: what to do with the large volumes of plastic scrap generated during production.

Instead of paying for disposal, leading OEMs are partnering with Seraphim Plastics—a trusted buyer of post-industrial scrap plastics across Tennessee and the surrounding region. Our streamlined recycling process allows manufacturers to turn waste into revenue, strengthen sustainability initiatives, and stabilize material costs.

Why OEMs Need a Reliable Industrial Plastic Buyer

Every automotive plant generates scrap during molding, assembly, and finishing processes. Common materials include:

• Polypropylene (PP) from dashboards, trims, and bumpers

• High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) from tanks and containers

• ABS & Nylon from under-the-hood components

• Polycarbonate blends from lighting and panels

Without a buyer, this scrap creates:

• High disposal costs (landfill tipping fees, waste hauling)

• Lost revenue opportunities

• Negative sustainability impacts that affect ESG reporting and OEM brand reputation

Seraphim Plastics eliminates these problems by providing direct, bulk purchasing of clean industrial scrap plastics.
