老采购都懂一句话:便宜的料,只有买的那一刻是开心的。这话放到再生塑料上,还得再加半句——买对了是省,买错了是还。前面15篇把PP、PE、ABS、PC一个一个掰开讲透,这一篇把它们拢到一起,做成一张能贴在采购桌前的速查总表。
先花两分钟认识下主角。宁波市科隆新材料有限公司是工贸一体的塑料原料供应商,做的不只是某一两个品类,而是把再生塑料这条产业链上跑得起来的料都收进来、分清楚:大宗通用的PP、PE、PVC、PS系,工程料ABS、PC、PA、POM,特种料PPS、PVDF、PEEK、LCP,弹性体TPU,还有可降解的PLA/PBAT和热固性回收粉,加起来二十多个品类。再生塑料的来路五花八门——工厂边角料、消费后回收制品、光伏和锂电等新兴产业的新边角料,经过分选、破碎、清洗、造粒,再回到对应的产线上用。这篇总纲不展开讲工艺,就回答一件事:你手里那个件,该往哪个档里放。
27个品类不是27道选择题,其实是5本账
很多人一听到再生塑料,脑子里就是一个笼统的概念:便宜。可真到采购桌上,PP的账和PE的账不一样,ABS的账和PEEK的账更不是一回事。PP走的是量,一吨省几百块、一个月用几百吨,积少成多;PEEK走的是价,新料一公斤好几十块,再生下来省的是一大截;TPU看的是回弹,LCP看的是高频性能。把它们硬塞到一个篮子里比价格,本身就是错的。
所以与其背27个品类的参数,不如先把它们归到五个档里:大宗通用档、工程料档、特种料档、弹性体档、冷门特殊档。每个档关心的事不一样——大宗档怕的是批次飘,工程档怕的是表面和力学掉链子,特种档怕的是认证和数据不全,弹性体怕的是泡水、冷门档怕的是用错地方。档归对了,选型就成了一半。
后面这张总表,把27个品类的来源、典型用途、降本要点、什么时候别碰,全压在一行里。不用背,打印出来贴在桌边,遇到新件先对一遍档。表中指标为行业通用口径概括,具体以GB/T 40006对应分品种标准和厂家TDS为准;LCP流通量小,以特定渠道回收为主。做再生料久了的宁波市科隆新材料有限公司,给客户报价从来不是先甩单价,而是先问做什么件、用在什么工况,再往这五个档里对。

| LCP | 电子元器件水口(量小) | 精密电子件、5G结构件改性 | 非高频非精密场景可替代 | 高频高速通信件 |
这张表看着长,记起来其实就一句话:大宗档拼批次稳,工程档拼外观和力学,特种档拼认证和数据,弹性体拼软硬段和耐水解,冷门档拼别用错地方。同一袋料,放对档是省钱,放错档是事故。
能省的归能省,别碰的归别碰,别拿一把尺子量所有料
把上面27个品类再归拢成五个档,采购时先看自己的件落在哪一档,再谈具体等级。这一档和那一档的风险点完全不一样,下面这张分档表说的就是这个。
| 分档 | 代表品类 | 选型要点 | 主要风险提示 |
|---|
| 大宗通用档 | PP、PE、PVC、HIPS、EPS、EVA、POE、PET | 看灰分、看MFR批次稳不稳 | 食品接触、给水管别碰 |
| 工程料档 | ABS、PC、PA、POM、PBT、PC/ABS、PMMA、AS、PETG | 对表面、对冲击、对透明要求 | 高光透明件先封样 |

| 冷门特殊档 | PLA/PBAT、热固性回收粉 | 当填料、短期用途 | 长期耐用、承力件别用 |
比分档更重要的,是知道哪些场景压根不该动再生料的念头。下面这张边界表,把高频踩坑的场景列出来——不是这些品类不能再生,是这些场景的安全和认证要求,再生料暂时还扛不住。
| 场景 | 不推荐品类 | 原因 | 替代建议 |
|---|
| 食品直接接触 | 多数通用再生料 | 无GB 4806合规依据 | 用合规食品级新料 |
| 高光镜面外观件 | 再生ABS、再生PC | 黑点、色差难控 | 高光级再生先封样或新料 |
| 户外长期耐候 | 再生PC、再生PMMA | 日晒雨淋易黄变 | 抗UV改性或新料 |
| 高频高速通信件 | 再生LCP | 介电性能一致性难保证 | 新料LCP |
| 航空认证、医疗植入 | PEEK、PI系等特种料 | 需全程可追溯认证 | 认证全新料 |
| 承压给水管 | 再生PVC、再生PE | 卫生与安全要求高 | 合规全新料 |
| 高精密尺寸件 | 再生POM、UHMWPE、PPS | 收缩与尺寸不稳 | 新料或严格小试验证 |
这两张表配合起来用:先拿分档表定方向,再拿边界表排雷。落到具体批次,MFR变异系数、灰分、缺口冲击、含水率这些硬指标,该要的数据一张都不能少——这一点前面每篇都讲过,总表里不再重复。
一个厂多料混用的纠偏:先分档,再谈便宜
先打个招呼:下面这个杂件厂的故事,是为讲清分档逻辑拼出来的典型示例,对不上任何一家真实客户。宁波有个做杂件的厂,注塑机加挤出线七八台,周转箱用PP、包装桶用PE、透明罩用PC、耐磨滑块用POM,四个件四种料。前几年图便宜,哪个再生料报价低就进哪个,结果一年内出了三档子事:PP周转箱冬天脆裂退货,PC透明罩泛黄被客户退,POM滑块三个月磨超差。老板一算,省的那点料钱,连返工的零头都不够。
后来他们把单子理了一遍,拿去跟宁波市科隆新材料有限公司对。科隆新材没急着报价,先把四个件分别归了档:周转箱归大宗通用档,认抗冲共聚再生PP、锁MFR;包装桶归大宗档,认HDPE注塑级、看灰分;透明罩归工程料档,透明级再生PC必须测透光率和黄指数;耐磨滑块归工程料档,再生POM先小试耐磨寿命。每个档定一个验收范围,随货带检测单。跑顺之后,周转箱冬天不裂了,透明罩黄变速率慢下来,滑块寿命回到预期,四个件的料本还都下来一截。
这单说明的事很朴素:多料混用的厂,最怕的不是买不到便宜再生料,而是把不同档的料按同一个价格标尺去买。宁波市科隆新材料有限公司做全品类供应,价值就在这——不是替你找最便宜的那一袋,而是替你把每个件先归到对的档,再在那个档里挑稳的等级。档对了,便宜才落得进口袋;档错了,便宜只是借条。
选型总纲就一句:先对档,再对等级,最后才轮到价格
全系列写到这儿,PP、PE、ABS、PC、PET、PVC、HIPS、PA、PC/ABS、PMMA、POM、TPU、EVA、POE一个一个讲完,这一篇把冷门和特种的十几档也补上。真到采购那天,不用把15篇全背下来,记住这个顺序就够了:先看件落在哪一档,再看这一档里哪个等级够用,最后才坐下来谈价格。顺序反了,就是前面那个杂件厂的剧本。
再生料没有高低贵贱,只有放没放对地方——放对了,边角料也是省钱的主力;放错了,金子也变废塑料。
从限塑到规范用塑,再生塑料这门生意越做越正经,品类也越分越细。新进来的产业边角料——光伏的POE、锂电的PVDF、5G的LCP——还在不断冒出来,今天的冷门,可能就是几年后的大宗。政策在推分级供应体系,标准在把每个品类的指标框死,会用的厂悄悄把成本打下来,不会用的还在被“回料=次品”挡在门外。
全品类再生料,先把你的件归个档
宁波市科隆新材料有限公司长期供应PP、PE、ABS、PC、PET、PVC、HIPS、PA、PC/ABS、PMMA、POM、TPU、EVA、POE及PPS、PVDF、PEEK、LCP等特种再生塑料,覆盖大宗、工程、特种、弹性体多档,应用于周转箱、管材、家电外壳、透明板材、电子接插件、耐磨件、鞋材等场景。不知道你的件该往哪个档放?怕等级不对拉低良率?

Experienced buyers all understand one saying: cheap materials only bring joy at the moment of purchase. When it comes to recycled plastics, there’s an extra half sentence to add—buying the right one saves money, buying the wrong one costs more. The previous 15 articles broke down PP, PE, ABS, and PC one by one; this article brings them together into a quick reference chart that can be posted on the buyer's desk.
Let's spend two minutes getting to know the main character. Ningbo Cologne New Materials Co., Ltd. is a plastic raw material supplier integrating industry and trade. It doesn’t just focus on one or two categories, but instead collects all the viable materials along the recycled plastics industry chain and sorts them clearly: bulk general-purpose PP, PE, PVC, PS series; engineering materials ABS, PC, PA, POM; specialty materials PPS, PVDF, PEEK, LCP; elastomer TPU; as well as degradable PLA/PBAT and thermoset recycled powders — in total, more than twenty categories. The sources of recycled plastics are diverse — factory scraps, post-consumer recycled products, new scraps from emerging industries such as photovoltaics and lithium batteries. After sorting, crushing, cleaning, and pelletizing, the materials return to their corresponding production lines. This article doesn't go into the processing details; it simply answers one question: where should the piece in your hand be categorized.
27 categories are not 27 multiple-choice questions; they are actually 5 ledgers.
Many people, when they hear 'recycled plastic,' think of a vague concept: cheap. But when it comes to the purchasing table, the accounting for PP is different from that for PE, and the accounting for ABS is even more different from that for PEEK. PP focuses on volume, saving a few hundred yuan per ton and using hundreds of tons a month, which adds up; PEEK focuses on price, with new material costing tens of yuan per kilogram, so recycling saves a significant amount; TPU is about resilience, LCP is about high-frequency performance. Trying to shove them all into one basket to compare prices is simply wrong.
So rather than memorizing the parameters for 27 categories, it's better to first group them into five tiers: bulk general tier, engineering material tier, specialty material tier, elastomer tier, and niche special tier. Each tier focuses on different concerns — the bulk tier worries about batch variations, the engineering tier worries about surface and mechanical failures, the specialty tier worries about missing certifications and data, the elastomer tier worries about water absorption, and the niche tier worries about using materials in the wrong applications. Once the tiers are properly categorized, choosing the right material is already half the battle.
The summary table at the back consolidates the sources, typical uses, cost-reduction key points, and when to avoid touching all 27 categories in one line. No need to memorize it; just print it out and stick it on your desk. When a new part comes up, check it against the table first. The indicators in the table are summarized according to industry standards; for specifics, refer to the corresponding standards in GB/T 40006 for each category and the manufacturer's TDS. LCP has a small circulation volume and is mainly recovered through specific channels. Ningbo Kolon New Materials Co., Ltd., which has been in the recycled material business for a long time, never quotes customers by first throwing out a price; they first ask what kind of part it is and under what working conditions it will be used, then compare it to these five categories.
Figure 1 Silo for Multi-Category Recycled Plastic Pellets (schematic)
Spread all categories on one table, who can save, who can’t, all revealed at a glance
| Category | Typical source | Typical Applications | Key Points for Cost Reduction | When to stop using |
|---|
| PP | Turnover boxes, woven bags, bumpers | Turnover boxes, pallets, automotive parts | High sales volume, stable supply of materials | Low-temperature load-bearing parts should be measured first |
| PE | Packaging film, chemical drums, pipes | Film blowing, pipes, pallets | Large volume and wide coverage, stable price difference | Food contact film must pass compliance first |
| ABS | Home appliance casings, television casings | Home appliance shells, toys | Dark color non-exterior parts are cost-effective | Try the highlighted mirror parts first |
| PC | Appliance housings, panels, lampshades | Sheets, electronic enclosures | Blended grade is cheap | Do not mix with high-transparency optical components |
| PET | Beverage bottles, sheet scraps | Staple fiber, strapping, sheets | Large amount of bottle and sheet recycling | Food bottle grade is subject to additional restrictions |
| PVC | Pipes, profiles, cable materials | Drainage pipes, profiles | Sufficient after reformulating the recipe | For water pipes and food parts only |
| HIPS | Home appliance shells, packaging boxes | Stationery, ordinary casing | Injection molding grade source is stable | Do not use high-impact parts |
| PA | Car parts, carpet fibers | Modified reinforcement, structural components | Compared to virgin material after modification | Moisture-absorbing parts should be dried first |
| PC/ABS | Electrical appliance casing recycling | Laptop, appliance casing | Recycling is cost-effective when alloy prices are high | High temperature-resistant parts first verification |
| PMMA | Lightbox panels, acrylic corners | Lightbox, display board | Wide range of transparent sources | Outdoor long-term yellowing parts |
| POM | Gears, wear-resistant part gates | Gears, wear-resistant structural parts | Wear-resistant parts can be regenerated and used | Handle precision components carefully |
| TPU | Shoe soles, edges of pipes | Soles, protective covers, hoses | Shoe material recycling closed loop is short | Soak the parts in water, first separate polyester and polyether |
| EVA | Shoe materials, foam edges and corners | Shoe soles, foam products | Just align the VA content | High load components, handle with care |
| POE | Photovoltaic, toughened corners | Toughening blend modification | Mix a little to save a batch | Don't use as the main ingredient |
| EPS | Packaging foam, insulated box | Lightweight filler, recycled granules | Wide sourcing, low price | Load-bearing structural parts, food parts |
| PTFE | Fluoroplastic corners and sealing rings | Anti-corrosion lining, seals | New materials are expensive, and there is a large space for recycling | High-purity semiconductors, food components |
| PBT | Electronic and electrical water gate | Electronic connectors and automotive parts | Enhanced modification benchmarked against new material | High humidity long-term load-bearing component |
| AS/SAN | Edges and corners of transparent products | Stationery, transparent packaging | Stable at the transparency level | Outdoor weather-resistant, high-impact parts |
| PVDF | Lithium battery waste, chemical pipe scraps | Lithium batteries, photovoltaics, chemical corrosion protection | New material is expensive, recycling is cost-effective | High-purity lithium battery cathode components |
| PPS | Hot runner nozzle | High-temperature structural components and connectors | Recycling special materials is cost-effective | High-precision dimensional parts |
| UHMWPE | Wear-resistant plates, pipe edges and corners | Wear-resistant lining, guide rail | High molecular weight and good cost performance | Injection molded thin-walled, high-temperature parts |
| PETG/APET | Transparent sheet edges and corners | Transparent packaging, display | Transparent and widely sourced from renewable materials | Food contact first compliance |
| PEEK | Aerospace, medical, semiconductor edges | High-end wear-resistant parts, semiconductor tooling | New materials are extremely expensive and require a lot of space | Implant-level, aviation-certified parts |
| PI/PSU/PEI | High-temperature film, electronic corners | High-temperature insulation, electronic structural components | Recycling high-priced specialty materials is cost-effective | Aviation certification, medical implants |
| PLA/PBAT | Edges of biodegradable products | Degradable packaging, agricultural film, 3D printing | Bio-based waste reduction | Long-lasting parts, high-temperature parts |
| Thermoset recycled powder | Phenolic, epoxy, PU crushing | Filler, modified filler | Turn waste into filler to reduce costs | Structural load-bearing member |
| LCP | Electronic Component Sprue (Small Quantity) | Precision electronic components, 5G structural component modification | Can be substituted in non-high-frequency, non-precision scenarios | High-frequency high-speed communication component |
This table looks long, but it actually boils down to one sentence: For bulk materials, group by batch to ensure stability; for engineering materials, group by appearance and mechanical properties; for specialty materials, group by certification and data; for elastomers, group by hardness segments and hydrolysis resistance; for niche materials, group to avoid using them in the wrong place. Using the same bag of material in the right category saves money, using it in the wrong category causes accidents.
Save where you can save, avoid touching what you shouldn’t, don’t use one ruler to measure all materials.
Combine the above 27 categories into five tiers. When purchasing, first see which tier your item falls into, and then discuss the specific grade. The risk points of this tier and that tier are completely different; the tier table below explains this.
| grading | Representative category | Key points for selection | Main Risk Warning |
|---|
| General Bulk File | PP, PE, PVC, HIPS, EPS, EVA, POE, PET | Check the ash content and see if the MFR batches are stable | Do not touch food contact surfaces or water pipes |
| Engineering Material File | ABS, PC, PA, POM, PBT, PC/ABS, PMMA, AS, PETG | Requirements for surface, impact resistance, and transparency | First seal the sample of the highlight transparent part |
| Special Material File | PPS, PVDF, PTFE, PEEK, LCP, PI series, UHMWPE | New materials are expensive; first check the certification requirements | Do not use recycled materials for aviation, semiconductors, or implants |
| Elastomer gear | TPU | First separate polyester and polyether, then test the rebound. | Choose polyether series for soaked parts |
| Obscure special file | PLA/PBAT, thermosetting recycled powder | When used as filler or for short-term purposes | For long-term durability, do not use as a load-bearing component |
Even more important than the scorecard is knowing which scenarios should never entertain the idea of using recycled materials. The following boundary table lists the high-frequency pitfall scenarios — it's not that these categories cannot use recycled materials; it's that the safety and certification requirements in these scenarios are something recycled materials can't yet meet.
| Scene | Not Recommended Categories | Reason | Alternative suggestion |
|---|
| Direct contact with food | Most general-purpose recycled materials | No GB 4806 compliance basis | Use compliant food-grade new material |
| Glossy mirror-finish exterior parts | Recycled ABS, Recycled PC | Black spots and color differences are difficult to control | Highlight-grade regeneration, first seal sample or new material |
| Outdoor long-term weather resistance | Recycled PC, Recycled PMMA | Exposed to sun and rain, it easily yellows. | UV-resistant modified material or new material |
| High-frequency high-speed communication component | Regenerated LCP | It is difficult to ensure the consistency of dielectric properties | New LCP |
| Aviation certification, medical implantation | Special materials such as PEEK and PI series | Full traceable certification required | Certified new material |
| Pressure water supply pipe | Recycled PVC, Recycled PE | High hygiene and safety requirements | Compliant brand-new material |
| High-precision dimensional parts | Recycled POM, UHMWPE, PPS | Shrinkage and dimensional instability | New material or strict small-scale verification |
These two tables are used together: first, use the grading table to set the direction, then use the boundary table to remove mines. When it comes to specific batches, hard indicators like MFR coefficient of variation, ash content, gap impact, and moisture content—none of the required data can be missing; this point has been mentioned in every previous article, so it will not be repeated in the summary table.
Correction for multiple materials mixed in one factory: first categorize, then discuss cheap options
Let me give you a heads-up: The story of the miscellaneous parts factory below is a typical example pieced together to clarify the logic of segmentation, and it doesn't match any real customer. There's a miscellaneous parts factory in Ningbo, with seven or eight injection molding machines and extrusion lines, PP for turnover boxes, PE for packaging barrels, PC for transparent covers, and POM for wear-resistant sliders—four pieces with four types of material. A few years ago, they wanted to buy cheaper recycled materials, but within a year, three major issues arose: PP turnover boxes cracked and returned in winter, PC transparent covers yellowed and returned by customers, and POM sliders worn out in three months. The boss calculated that the small cost saved on materials wasn't even enough for rework.
Later, they organized the orders and took them to compare with Ningbo Kolon New Materials Co., Ltd. Kolon New Materials didn't rush to quote; they first filed the four parts separately: the turnover boxes were filed under the bulk general category, recognizing impact-resistant copolymer recycled PP and locking MFR; the packaging barrels were filed under the bulk category, recognizing HDPE injection-grade and checking ash content; the transparent covers were filed under the engineering materials category, with transparent recycled PC requiring testing for light transmittance and yellowness index; the wear-resistant sliders were filed under the engineering materials category, with recycled POM first undergoing small-scale wear life tests. Each category had an acceptance range, and test reports were included with the goods. After running smoothly, the turnover boxes no longer cracked in winter, the yellowing rate of the transparent covers slowed down, the slider lifespan returned to expectations, and the material consumption for all four parts was further reduced.
This note explains something very straightforward: for factories that mix multiple types of materials, the biggest concern is not being unable to buy cheap recycled materials, but rather buying materials of different grades according to the same price standard. Ningbo Kolon New Materials Co., Ltd. provides a full-category supply, and its value lies here—not in finding you the cheapest bag, but in first classifying each item into the correct grade, and then selecting a stable quality within that grade. When the grade is right, the cheap price really applies to the imported bag; when the grade is wrong, the cheap price is just an IOU.
The general principle for selection can be summed up in one sentence: first match the file, then match the grade, and finally consider the price.
I've written the entire series up to this point, covering PP, PE, ABS, PC, PET, PVC, HIPS, PA, PC/ABS, PMMA, POM, TPU, EVA, and POE one by one. In this article, I also cover the dozen or so lesser-known and specialty grades. When it comes to procurement day, you don’t need to memorize all 15 articles; just remember this sequence: first look at which grade the part falls into, then see which level within that grade is sufficient, and only then sit down to discuss price. If the order is reversed, it’s just the script for that miscellaneous part factory earlier.
Recycled materials have no high or low value; it all depends on whether they are used in the right place—used correctly, even scraps can be a major cost saver; used incorrectly, even gold can turn into waste plastic.
From restricting plastics to regulating their use, the recycled plastics business is becoming more legitimate, and the categories are getting more and more detailed. New industry offcuts—POE from photovoltaics, PVDF from lithium batteries, LCP from 5G—keep emerging. What is niche today could be bulk commodity in a few years. Policies are promoting a graded supply system, standards are setting fixed indicators for each category, and manufacturers who know how to use them quietly reduce costs, while those who don’t are still blocked at the door by the notion that 'recycled material = inferior product.'
All-category recycled materials, first organize your pieces into files
