MBA Polymers UK achieves UL listing for its recycled ABS
Summary
The certification process includes rigorous third-party testing and analysis, as well as an on-site audit of the company’s site in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The polymer has already become a sustainable competitor to the high-quality virgin plastics used in electronics, automotive manufacturing and consumer goods – supplying customers in markets including Hong Kong and the USA. It is derived from the fast-growing waste electronics sector (supplied by MBA Polymers UK’s parent company, EMR), creating a circular economy for this essential material. The new ABS 4125 UL is set to become the first of a series of high-specification recycled polymers developed by the company’s team of experts to replace the use of virgin plastics and reduce the environmental impact that they cause. “Now that we know we have the product right – and certified by a third party such as UL – our job is to get this high-performance new recycled ABS out to our customers, helping more manufacturers to switch away from nature-depleting virgin plastics.”
