Turn Plastic Purge Into Revenue Instead of Waste
Plastic purge is an unavoidable part of plastics manufacturing, but it doesn't have to become a disposal expense. Seraphim Plastics purchases post-industrial plastic purge from manufacturers across North America, helping companies recover value while keeping recyclable material out of landfills.
Whether your facility produces purge during color changes, material transitions, startup procedures, or equipment cleaning, our team can help evaluate your material and coordinate efficient pickup for qualifying truckload quantities.
What Is Plastic Purge?
Plastic purge is excess plastic removed from processing equipment to clear previous material, colors, or resins before production begins. It is commonly generated by:
- Injection molding
- Blow molding
- Extrusion
- Thermoforming
- Compounding operations
Depending on the process, purge may consist of solid chunks, strands, pellets, or irregular masses.
