Most types of Acrylic (PMMA) materials are recyclable and have enough value to make the PMMA scrap worth collecting for recycling purposes. If the acrylic scrap in not clean enough to be used to make new recycled content products, the material can be reprocessed to recover the acrylic monomer from the PMMA scrap. The Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) monomer extraction process is usually referred to as “cracking monomer” or “monomer crackback”, and is now typically done only in China and India. The recovered MMA is sold back into tier 2 type acrylic applications such as colored PMMA sheet / pellets, lacquers, and paints. In order to make good clear Acrylic sheet the sheet manufacturer will usually use virgin MMA, because the recovered MMA is not clear enough to make Q1 Grade Acrylic Sheet.
Dualloy Inc. is a plastics recycling and plastics sales company that purchases all types of acrylic waste and scrap for recycling. We work directly with the major North American / European PMMA polymer manufacturers, and plastics molding and converting companies to recycle their plant scarp / waste.
