Plastic Recycling Solutions for Building & Construction Facilities

Introduction: Why Recycling Matters in Construction

The building and construction industry is one of the largest consumers of plastic materials. From PVC pipes to HDPE sheets, plastics play a vital role in delivering durable, cost-effective solutions for infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects. But with every project comes excess material—scrap that often ends up taking valuable space, driving up disposal costs, and creating inefficiencies on the jobsite.

At Seraphim Plastics, we specialize in working with construction and building facilities to transform bulk plastic scrap into valuable raw material. With decades of expertise, a proven logistics network, and advanced processing facilities, we help construction companies across Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, and beyond reduce waste while boosting sustainability and profitability.

The Challenge of Plastic Waste in Construction

Every project leaves behind leftover material. In construction, plastic scrap often includes:

  • Pipe cutoffs and trimmings

  • Sheeting, vapor barriers, and protective wraps

  • Buckets, pallets, and bins

  • Spurs, runners, and purge from fabrication facilities

Too often, these materials are landfilled or stored indefinitely, leading to:

  • Higher Disposal Costs – Landfill tipping fees continue to rise.

  • Cluttered Jobsites – Excess scrap creates safety hazards and slows productivity.

  • Missed Revenue Opportunities – Recyclable plastics are treated as waste instead of assets.

By partnering with Seraphim Plastics, building and construction companies can turn these challenges into opportunities.

Why Construction Companies Trust Seraphim Plastics

1. Experience in Construction Recycling

We have worked with contractors, developers, and industrial builders for years, providing tailored recycling solutions that fit the fast pace of construction projects. Our team understands the realities of the industry—tight deadlines, changing schedules, and the need for quick turnaround—and we adapt to meet those needs.

2. Expertise in Industrial Plastics

Unlike residential recyclers, we focus exclusively on post-industrial plastics. This specialization ensures we can process large, consistent loads of construction scrap, including PVC pipe cutoffs, HDPE sheets, and HMW bins, into high-value regrind.

3. Authoritative Processes

From pick-up to processing, our recycling system is transparent and efficient. We operate our own shredding and grinding facilities, which means we control quality at every step and deliver reliable results.

4. Trustworthy Partnership

We provide clear documentation, fair pricing, and prompt payment. Our relationships with construction companies are built on accountability—what we promise, we deliver.

Plastics Accepted from Building & Construction Facilities

At Seraphim Plastics, we accept clean, segregated, bulk loads of construction plastics, including:

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

  • Commonly used in pipes, fittings, and siding.

  • We accept pipe cutoffs, clean scrap from fabrication, and bulk PVC from construction projects.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)

  • Widely used in buckets, sheets, liners, and piping.

  • Ideal for grinding into high-quality plastic regrind for resale.

HMW (High Molecular Weight HDPE)

  • Found in heavy-duty bins, industrial pallets, and durable containers.

  • Perfect for processing into consistent plastic regrind.

LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)

  • Includes vapor barriers, shrink wrap, and construction films.

  • Often collected in bulk gaylords for recycling.

Polypropylene (PP)

  • Used in strapping, buckets, totes, and molded construction parts.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

  • Found in durable housings, construction equipment casings, and tool components.

Polycarbonate (PC)

  • Used in protective guards, roofing panels, and durable sheeting.

Purge, Spurs & Runners

  • Byproducts from on-site fabrication facilities and molding operations.

Plastic Regrind

  • Already-ground plastic material ready for resale into new building products.

Our buying model focuses on large, industrial quantities—truckloads, bins, or gaylords of uniform scrap—ensuring efficient processing and maximum return for construction partners.
