Recycling and Manufacture
Using Recycled Plastics in High-End Manufacturing
At the forefront of sustainable innovation, we integrate recycled plastics into the manufacture of high-end products across a range of industries. This not only helps companies to manufacture their products whilst being conscious of their environmental responsibility, but also demonstrates that recycled materials can meet the performance of virgin plastics. This allows for high-end products with complex functionality requirements to be moulded using recycled plastics, without compromising on their appearance, use, strength, and durability.
Tailored Material Blends for Performance and Sustainability
With the convenience of running our own in-house recycling centre, RGE use the material produced to create our own blend of recycled plastic. Our process involves carefully engineering blends of recycled materials to achieve specific performance characteristics. By combining different grades and types of recycled plastics, we can create materials tailored for strength, flexibility, heat resistance, or other critical properties, depending on the product’s end use.
Modern recycled plastics often rival virgin materials in terms of strength, durability, and reliability. Our testing and validation processes ensure that every recycled blend meets the required quality standards, making them suitable even for a wide variety of high-performance applications.
Working with recycled materials requires a design approach that considers variability, performance, and processing needs. RGE offer specialised design and engineering services to adapt product development to be suitable for manufacture with Recycled materials. This ensures that each product performs flawlessly, while benefiting from sustainable material choices.
Supporting Your Environmental Goals
By incorporating recycled plastics into our products, we help our customers meet ambitious environmental targets. This includes reducing carbon footprint, diverting plastic waste from landfills, and minimising the use of fossil-fuel-based virgin plastics. Our approach supports circular economy principles and reduces the overall environmental impact of production.
Repurposing Plastics from Unlikely Sources
We go beyond the obvious by sourcing recycled plastics from industries that traditionally generate large volumes of waste. From old, worn, and damaged packaging, to waste from the food production industry and automotive parts, we are able to repurpose plastics from unexpected sectors, giving them new life in innovative products.
