We welcome the opportunity to develop new, long-lasting relationships with manufacturing companies generating scrap of high-performance polymers. By supplying your manufacturing scrap, you can create additional revenue streams while supporting sustainable practices.
Please review the information below, and contact us for further details if you have any of these items.
POLYMER SCRAP MATERIALS IN DEMAND
PEEK Machining Shavings
We need shavings scrap of the following types:
- Natural PEEK shavings
- Glass-fiber reinforced PEEK shavings
- Carbon-fiber reinforced PEEK shavings (have not developed a market for this)
If you have other types of shavings, please contact us with your details.
Important Guidelines:
- Dry-cut preferred; water-based cutting fluid residue acceptable
- Both lathe-cut and mill-cut types needed
- Minor non-PEEK contamination acceptable
By following these guidelines, we will be able to offer you maximum value for your PEEK shavings scrap.
High-Performance Polymer Parts & Scrap
We purchase scrap materials including:
PEEK (all grades)
- Natural unfilled grades
- Glass-fiber reinforced grades
- Carbon-fiber reinforced grades
- Bearing grades (PTFE-filled)
PEK and PEKK materials
PFA and other fluoropolymers
PSU and PPSU materials
PEI components
PAI scrap
LCP materials (not important at this time)
Other high-temperature engineering polymers
Other grades and formulations similar to the above listed items can also be considered. Please contact us with your details.
Excess Inventory Materials
We also purchase:
- Virgin materials nearing shelf life expiration or product obsolescence
- Off-spec or contaminated resin
- Discontinued product lines
- Excess inventory requiring liquidation
- Production overruns
TURNING YOUR WASTE INTO VALUABLE RESOURCES
Your scrap materials become our premium powders and processed polymers. Our specialized milling and purification capabilities transform what might be waste in your facility into valuable powder products for:
- Compression molding applications
- 3D printing feedstock
- Powder coating processes
- Reinforced composites production
- Rotomolding materials
- Industrial, semiconductor, and non-critical medical and aerospace applications

Important Guidelines:
- Injection molded parts, sprues, runners. Extruded sheet, rod, pipe.
- For machined scrap, dry-cut is preferred. Water-based cutting fluid residue is OK.
- Scrap should be collected in drums or gaylord boxes designated by material grade so that, as much as possible, only one type of material is in each container.
- We strongly prefer to purchase ungranulated scrap so that we can have complete control over the quality of regrind products we are selling.
