Trusted Toll Compounding Services for Manufacturers

Tolling is a manufacturing arrangement in which a customer provides or retains ownership of the raw material, while a specialized processor performs agreed production work for a fee. In plastic recycling, toll processing can include shredding, washing, extrusion, and pelletizing customer-owned scrap into recycled resin. It lets manufacturers access processing capability without purchasing and operating their own recycling equipment.

PPP specializes in polyethylene materials, specifically HDPE and LDPE plastic scrap. These materials may come from post-industrial manufacturing streams or qualifying post-consumer sources. Before processing begins, the material stream should be reviewed for suitability, including its form, cleanliness, composition, and intended resin application. A quote request is the appropriate starting point for confirming whether a particular material can be accepted.

PPP’s recycling process can include sorting, shredding, washing, cleaning, melting, extrusion, and pelletizing. These steps reduce plastic scrap to a processable form, remove contaminants as appropriate, melt and reform the material, and produce recycled resin pellets. The specific handling sequence depends on the incoming material and the intended finished-resin requirements.

In a tolling arrangement, the customer generally supplies or retains ownership of the material while the processor performs the agreed conversion work. The exact ownership, handling, specifications, yield expectations, and delivery terms should be established before the project begins. Clear documentation helps both parties align on the material stream, processing scope, and expected recycled resin output.

Yes. Reprocessed resin can support a manufacturer’s efforts to reduce reliance on virgin plastic and incorporate recovered material into appropriate products. PPP also produces PCR resin through certified processing of qualifying post-consumer material. Businesses should confirm their product-specific performance, regulatory, and recycled-content requirements when determining which recycled resin option best fits their application.

PPP combines decades of HDPE and LDPE recycling experience with a full-service process that includes material preparation, extrusion, and pelletizing. Its PCR certification is re-certified annually through quarterly and annual reviews, reflecting an ongoing quality-assurance focus. Customers can discuss specifications for resin size, shape, color, finish, and performance when requesting a toll processing quote.

PPP provides quotes upon request because processing requirements vary by material type, condition, volume, preparation needs, and desired resin output. A useful quote request should identify whether the material is HDPE or LDPE, its source, approximate quantity, known contamination concerns, and the intended application. That information helps define the processing scope and evaluate the project accurately.

Start by submitting a request through PPP’s Request a Quote form and describing the material you want processed. Include the polyethylene type, estimated volume, source material, condition, and desired recycled resin outcome. PPP can then review the opportunity, discuss processing considerations, and provide next steps for arranging a toll processing program that aligns with your recovery objectives.
