PP Scrap
We buy polypropylene scrap UK-wide: rigid PP (tubs, buckets, crates), woven PP jumbo/FIBC bags — baled, cut or whole — carpet backing and battery-case regrind.
Polypropylene is the broadest scrap family we handle, and each stream has its own buyer in Türkiye: rigids feed injection compounds, woven big-bags feed raffia and recycled FIBC production, carpet backing goes to compounders, and battery-case regrind — from licensed battery recyclers only — feeds automotive compounds. Because streams differ, we buy against per-stream acceptance specs and quote from photographs. All exports move as sorted single-polymer B3011 material with the full Annex VII trail.
Technical specification
| Polymer | PP homo/copolymer | |
|---|---|---|
| Streams | Rigid · woven · backing · regrind | |
| Bale weight | 300–600 | kg |
| Metal | Free of ferrous; handles/inserts stated | |
| Moisture | ≤ 3 dry stored | % |
Compliance & documentation
- Waste / product classification
- Green-list waste under B3011 as sorted single-polymer PP. Battery-case regrind additionally requires documented origin from a licensed battery recycler with acid-neutralisation confirmation.
- Certification chain
- EA registered waste carrier/broker/dealer (upper tier); consignee licence and quota verified before contract.
- Documentation supplied
- Annex VII form signed by all parties, retained 3 years
- Contract with the licensed Turkish consignee
- Waste transfer note at UK collection
- Photographic loading report per container
- Türkiye import notes
- Sorted PP streams are accepted; mixed rigid loads are not. Battery-case material needs the origin file complete before shipment.
