The Plastics Industry Council (PLASTICS) and plastic recycler Ultra Poly have successfully tested a process for collecting and recycling plastic bumper covers for cars
.
Ultra Poly's technology does not rely on third-party recyclers and processors to collect and pretreat car bumper covers
.
Kevin Cronin, Ultra Poly's vice president of sustainability and research and development, said: "This project shows that true post-consumer materials don't have to be just curbside collection or have to go through material recycling.
Pre-treatment at the facility
.
Source collection also ensures a steady supply of material - a car repair shop can generate up to 30 scrapped bumper covers per month
.
Tony Radoszewski, CEO of the Plastics Industry Association, said: "This case study is a win-win for auto repair shops, recyclers, manufacturers and the environment
.
The Ultra Poly case study is part of the Plastics Industry Association's larger New End Market Opportunities (NEMO) initiative, which focuses expertise across the plastics supply chain on developing new ways to recover, recycle and reuse plastic products
