I came up with an interesting idea that may revolutionize the plastic scrap market once and for all. I wanted to share this idea with everyone here.
I think the correct name for this idea is “Plastic Scrap Super Storeâ€. As in the name, the basic idea is to create a super store (like Wal-Mart) for plastic scrap. This is a place where suppliers around the world can ship their plastic scrap to sell direct to buyers in China.

What sets Recycled Plastic dot Com apart from all other plastic scrap B2B marketplaces, directories, and blogs is that we’re 100% Search Engine Friendly (SEO)! This means that major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing really like our website and content. What does this mean for you?
This means that your plastic scrap listings on Recycled Plastic dot Com extends beyond just our website borders. In fact, whenever you submit a listing, our system actually tells the search engines to come and take a look. This part gets a little technical so to make things short, after the visit, the search engine will place your listing in their database and decide its relevance based on complex mathematical formulas. This relevance will decide how highly you will rank in their searches. Before going any further, let’s see some results.
It has not been long since the launch of Recycled Plastic dot Com and already I’m getting emails on a daily basis with questions about plastic, plastic recycling, and recycled plastics (which is great!). I’m having a blast answering your emails and meeting new people along the way. Several days ago, I received an email from Robbie asking how he can find plastic scrap suppliers in Europe. It seems I’ve been writing so much on selling that I’m neglecting the buying side of things. In response, I’m going to write an entire series on “finding plastic scrap suppliers” worldwide.
I’m going to start by saying that I do NOT recommend testing and identifying plastic types this way. The burn test involves burning a piece of plastic with a heat source such as a lighter and carefully inspecting the way it burns, the color of flame, the smell, and other characteristics. The issue with conducting the burn test is it releases chemicals in the air that is possibly carcinogenic. Since on-site plastic identification is sometimes required for plastic scrap trading, it sometimes gets overlooked as being hazardous to your health.
