HP Partners with SRS to Boost E-Plastics Recycling

Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS) will partner with ITAD major HP to boost e-plastics recycling. The partnership will commission a new plastics sorting plant in La Vergne, Tennessee built at a cost of around $1 million. The plant is expected to become online this June. A similar system has been already installed in a mill facility in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The partnership aims to maximize recycling polymers from electronics. The plastics are recycled to be used in new HP printers.

SRS, in partnership with HP had conducted several trials on assessing the benefits of various methods used to process e-plastics streams to be used in manufacture of new HP printers. The case study has found that collating materials from HP returns and other sources and processing them via mechanical shredding and separation techniques is the most economically viable solution.

The e-plastics collected at SRS La Vergne, Tennessee facility is shipped to La Verge- a plastic recycler based in Montreal. HIPS and ABS are recycled into new printers. These printers carry a “green label” to help customers identify the post-consumer recycled content.

The Green Fence Policy of 2013, the National Sword announcement in February 2017 and subsequent controls on imports by Chinese administration has led to drastic reduction in exports of scrap including e-plastics to that country. This resulted in several Asian countries imposing scrap import restrictions. For instance, Vietnam had recently announced outright ban on imports of plastics recovered from e-scrap.
