Axion Polymers’ technical capability in creating tailor-made recycled polymer grades for customers’ product applications is driving expansion for the UK-based plastics recycler. Demand is rising - particularly from the construction, drainage, water and horticultural sectors - for ‘sustainably-sourced and competitively-priced’ high-grade polymers, the company states.

‘In the transition to a circular materials economy, more manufacturers are recognising the value of using recycled polymers that not only can be modified to suit specific requirements, such as adjusting melt flow, impact resistance and tensile strength, but also are genuinely sustainable,’ comments Axion’s product development technologist Mark Keenan.

Axion’s range of high-grade recycled plastics is sourced from its end-of-life vehicle recycling facility, the Shredder Waste Advanced Processing Plant (SWAPP) at Trafford Park in Manchester, and further refined at its advanced polymer processing site in nearby Salford.
