Polypropylene (PP) is a strong, high performing thermoplastic that’s widely used in multiple industries, as it's one of the most common, versatile polymers.
Recycled PP pellets make the perfect alternative to virgin polymers. Cost effective but without compromising on quality, our recycled PP grades deliver similar properties to virgin.
Our high-tech polyolefin purification process cleans and sorts polypropylene waste from our automotive and electronic feed, before it’s compounded into the grade of recycled plastic pellets you require – for both general use and specialised applications.
We can also develop custom grades of recycled polypropylene, incorporating specific properties that you may require.
MBA Polymers UK are the first Plastics Recycling Business in the world to have their products acheive the Carbon Trust’s Lower CO2 label.
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and accompanying achievement of the Lower CO2 label certified by the Carbon Trust, compares MBA Polymers key products to the equivalent LCA of their virgin plastic counterparts as published by PlasticsEurope in their ECO-Profiles.
The LCA study confirms that MBA Polymers UK PP grades have an 80% lower carbon footprint than its virgin equivalents.
