We have the expertise to test and analyse recycled materials

Due to increasing environmental awareness and resource conservation, the recycling of materials plays a critical role in mitigating waste, reducing carbon footprint, and promoting a circular economy. As such, many companies need to know the compositional, mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of recycled plastics before it can be repurposed. 

ExcelPlas is equipped with the expertise to analyse recycled materials, providing services such as: 

Mechanical Testing: Evaluation of the structural integrity and performance attributes of recycled plastics to gauge their suitability for various applications.

Component Identification: In-depth analysis aimed at discerning the constituent components within recycled plastics, facilitating informed decision-making regarding their reutilization.

Quality Determination: Assessment into the quality of recycled polymers such as Melt Flow Rate for polyolefins or assessing the degree of degradation. 

Purity Assessment: Analysis to ascertain the purity levels of recycled plastics, crucial for maintaining product integrity and performance consistency.

Hazardous Element Detection: Identification of any potentially harmful elements or chemicals present within recycled plastics, safeguarding against environmental and health risks.

Failure Analysis: Investigative analysis of any instances of material failure or degradation, pinpointing underlying causes and informing remedial actions.

If you have recycled material that you would like tested, our team is available to discuss your requirements and/or provide a quotation for testing.
