UK-based Axion Polymers’ recycled products are going global following acceptance of their Axpoly PS01 & Axpoly r-PP51 brands in Materials Libraries around the world.

Certificates of Excellence have been awarded for both polymers, derived from post-consumer sources, which are now included as 20cm x 20cm plaques in Material Connexion’s library of innovative materials in New York.

Axpoly PS01, a high-grade white polystyrene polymer sourced from post-consumer waste fridge plastic, caught the Library’s attention after being featured in the UK and European plastics trade media as the first recycled PS with EU toy approval.

Its toy grade variant Axpoly r-PS01 satisfies stringent British Standard testing to BS EN 71-3, which covers the specification for migration of certain elements from within the plastics used to mould toy components.

Derived from end-of-life vehicles (ELV), Axpoly r-PP51 is a high performance grade of black polypropylene (PP) suitable for use in closed-loop applications in new automotive-related products, as well as the utility, construction and wider manufacturing industries. The Axpoly brand name is a UK registered trademark of Manchester-based Axion Recycling Ltd
