Born from Industry. Built for Industry

Founded by veterans in injection molding, injection blow molding, extrusion, and blown film, ResinSurplus.com reflects decades of hands-on experience.

We’ve run machines, sourced resin under pressure, and dealt with idle material. We built the platform we always wished existed — one that gets resin moving faster, cleaner, and smarter.

Materials Accepted

  • ResinSurplus.com supports listings for all common thermoplastics including:
    Prime, off-grade, wide-spec, and surplus resins.
  • Regrind and reprocessed materials (clearly subcategorized)
  • Pellets, flake, powder, or scrap forms

    Whether your material is packaged in gaylords, supersacks, or boxes — if it’s usable, it’s listable.

Market Challenges Solved

  • Regrind and reprocessed materials are notoriously difficult to offload — especially when end-customers prohibit their use in final products, such as in:
    Medical devices
  • Pharmaceutical packaging
  • Automotive optics and electronics

    ResinSurplus.com connects these materials with processors who can use them efficiently. For example:

  • Injection molders seeking fractional melt regrind can buy directly from the source.
  • Pricing is often far more tolerable than today’s inflated “special purge” markets.
  • You save material from landfill while others gain margin.

    Our platform gives regrind a second life — where others see a problem, we deliver a market.
