Materials Accepted
- ResinSurplus.com supports listings for all common thermoplastics including:
Prime, off-grade, wide-spec, and surplus resins. - Regrind and reprocessed materials (clearly subcategorized)
- Pellets, flake, powder, or scrap forms
Whether your material is packaged in gaylords, supersacks, or boxes — if it’s usable, it’s listable.
Market Challenges Solved
- Regrind and reprocessed materials are notoriously difficult to offload — especially when end-customers prohibit their use in final products, such as in:
Medical devices - Pharmaceutical packaging
- Automotive optics and electronics
ResinSurplus.com connects these materials with processors who can use them efficiently. For example:
- Injection molders seeking fractional melt regrind can buy directly from the source.
- Pricing is often far more tolerable than today’s inflated “special purge” markets.
- You save material from landfill while others gain margin.
Our platform gives regrind a second life — where others see a problem, we deliver a market.
