Injection Moulding & Environment

As manufacturers and consumers, we are collectively becoming more conscious of our environmental impact. If you are looking for a sustainable method of manufacturing, that means you can also benefit from precise manufacturing methods and more durable products, then look no further. Plastic Injection moulding is a much more environmentally friendly option than many people might imagine for several reasons. To find out more about the additional benefits of injection moulding, read our previous article.

Less waste with excess plastic being reground

Injection moulding is an incredibly precise process; when done correctly, it generates low levels of waste. The injection moulding process is unique in the way that any excess plastic can easily be ground up and recycled to ensure there is no wastage. This makes injection moulding a more environmentally friendly process and therefore provides a great choice for any company that is looking to become more sustainable and reduce its environmental footprint. Not only does the high precision of injection moulding make it a sustainable method, but it also helps with cost efficiency and effectiveness, which is also beneficial for producing products where low costs are important to compete within the market.

Long-lasting products

Some high-speed and low-cost manufacturing methods can have a negative impact on the end product if extra steps aren’t considered.  However, filters can be added within the injection moulding process to enhance the strength and durability of a product or part. By taking extra steps such as adding filters, we can increase the durability of products we produce. This in turn can extend the lifecycle of our products and parts which reduces the amount of plastic we need to produce overall. Most of the items we produce have long lifecycles, such as waste bins and cutlery trays. Read our article to find out more about the everyday products we manufacture.
