CK Polymers Ltd are experts in the field
of plastic recycling and have facilities and resources across the UK. We
provide a range of plastic waste management and recycling services for all
plastic types and can help with plastics identification if required.
To aid with polymer identification for plastic recycling purposes, many plastic product manufacturers have taken to marking their products with a plastics identifcation marking system outlined in the table below.
It is not yet a legal requirement to mark plastic products
but many manufacturers (perhaps expecting further legislation
relating to producer responsibilities in) have taken to
using the coding system devised by the American
Society of the Plastics Industry to identify larger
plastic parts (eg. in cars and electrical goods) and for
packaging items.
