Vanden Recycling to offer free polymer analysis reports

Polymer analysis tests taking place in lab setting

VANDEN Recycling will offer free polymer analysis reports to manufacturers and recyclers next month.

Delivered through Vanden’s technical labs in the UK, Turkey, and Australia, the organisation said the reports provide ‘accurate, lab-based insight’ into the composition, contamination levels, and processing potential of plastic materials. Businesses can apply throughout October to take advantage of this limited-time initiative.

“Many of our customers have already seen the difference a deeper understanding of their materials can make,” said Beril Yesilirmak, global technical director at Vanden. “By analysing key indicators such as heat ageing and contamination levels, we help manufacturers make better decisions – whether that’s reducing waste, improving pricing, or keeping more material in the circular economy.”

Each report includes analysis using one of several industry-standard tests – including Melt Flow Index (MFI), FTIR, NIR, sink-float, density, or heat ageing – selected based on the type of plastic submitted. Participants receive a technical report, prepared by Vanden’s polymer specialists, with insights into the material’s characteristics and suitability for specific applications.

“Manufacturers and recyclers tell us these reports help them gain clarity, avoid rework, and secure higher-value deals,” said Beril. “It’s not just about lab testing, it’s about empowering better business outcomes.”
