PE POLYETHYLENE
Polyethylene is a large category that encompasses a large variety of resins, which are manufactured through the polymerization of ethylene gas. Polyethylene is the largest in volume with regards to commercial polymers. This type of thermoplastic allows for a variety of flexibilities and can be found in three-density and flexibility types, High-density, low-density, and high-molecular weight. Polyethylene is widely used when packaging low-cost and high moisture products.

HDPE  HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE 
This product is a preferred thermoplastic packaging material because of its strength and density properties. This material is considered to be the most rigid form of polyethylene, and retains a density value range of 0.935 to 0.96 g/cm and above. Common uses include:
- Food Storage Containers
- Bottle Caps
- Water Pipes
- Plastic Bags
- Cable Jacket/Coatings

HMWPE  HIGH-MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE
This particular material retains a structure that grants superior stress resistance, however, possesses low resistance to heat. Given the immense durability, the material is often used in the production of a diverse and large range of products from machine parts to butcher’s chopping boards. Common uses include:
- Pipe and Conduit
- Machine Parts

LDPE  LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE
Thermoplastic is manufactured through a high-pressurized process. Low-density polyethylene retains a density value range of 0.918 to 0.94 g/cm.
- Film (clean clear and mixed color)
- General Purpose Containers
- Parts Requiring Flexibility
- Six-pack Rings

LLDPE  LINEAR LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE 
This material is manufactured through the process of copolymerization of ethylene and other materials. The properties of this material allow it to maintain a linear polymer density that is comprised of many short branches and a much narrower molecular weight distribution than other types of LDPE. The properties of this material serve the purpose of blown film applications and typically are used in products such as food packaging, film and more.
- Stretch Film/Wrap
- Corrosion Resistant Surfaces
- Parts Requiring Flexibility
- Playground Slides

MDPE  MEDIUM-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE 
This material qualifies as a certain type of polyethylene that is defined by it’s density range of 0.926 to 0.940 g/cm. Given it’s medium density this material retains shock resistance qualities and a certain element of toughness. MDPE is typically manufactured into products such as packaging and piping.

PET / PETE 
POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE 
A thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber. The term polyethylene terephthalate is a source of confusion because this substance, PET, does not contain polyethylene. Thus, the alternate form, poly(ethylene terephthalate), is often used in scholarly journals for the sake of accuracy and clarity. Common uses include:
- Packaging Film
- Filaments
- General Bottling

PETG  TEREPHTHALATE G COPOLYMER
Serving the role of storage for biological material, this form of engineered resin possesses an excellent resistance to gas like properties. This is a unique product in that it demonstrates morphological properties, allowing for versatility in manufacturing capabilities. Common uses include:
- Bottling for biological materials
- Standard consumer bottling 
- Protective masks

PP  POLYPROPYLENE
This is a thermoplastic polymer, and has a variety of uses such as packaging, labeling, textiles, auto components and more. The manufacturing process entails the polymerization of propylene with aluminum alkyl and titanium tetrachloride. This allows for a material that has a higher strength, and heat resistance than the generic polyethylene. Common uses include:
- Thermal Undergarments 
- Rope
- Reusable Bags

METALS
Reily Recovery purchases and sells copper and a limited amount of aluminum, and ferrous metals (containing iron), meaning steel and iron as well as materials that constitute as alloys of iron.


ER ENGINEERED RESINS
Engineered Resins are polymer plastics that are identified through their crystallization during the solidified stage. As a result Engineered Resin plastics provide a level of rigidity and immunity to general wear and friction. Common uses include:

ABS  ACRYLONITRILE BUTADIENE STYRENE 
This is considered a common thermoplastic that is polymerized with a ranging mixture of 15% to 35% acrylonitrile, 5% to 30% butadiene, and 40% to 60% styrene. This combination allows for an impervious and heat resistant product. ABS is a malleable material for the purpose of injection molding, extrusion and more. Common uses include:
- Pipe Systems
- Automotive Components
- Kitchen Appliances
- Children’s Toys

ACETAL/POM POLYOXYMETHYLENE
A thermoplastic produced by the addition polymerization of an aldehyde through the carbonyl function, yielding unbranched polyoxymethylene chains of great length. The acetal resins are among the strongest and stiffest of all thermoplastics, and are characterized by good fatigue life, low moisture sensitivity, high resistance to solvents and chemicals, and good electrical properties. Acetals may be processed by conventional injection molding and extrusion techniques. The main area of application for acetal is industrial and mechanical products.

NYLON  POLYAMIDE
Created through the polymerization of amino acids, this material is capable of resisting abrasions and impacts. However, it is important to note that although this material exhibits a repellent quality to chemicals it will not be able to withstand salts or strong mineral acids. Common uses include:
- Rope/Yarn
- Tubing
- Automotive Parts
- Electronic Parts

NYLON 66  RESIN
This basic strand of thermoplastic resin exhibits excellent thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. Across the board Nylon has proven to have a capability for a large variety of applications in many areas of manufacturing. Common uses include:
- Automotive Parts                        
- Protective packaging
- Plastic wrapping

PBT  POLYBUTYLENE TEREPHTHALATE
This particular plastic resin shows incredible versatility and yet demonstrates a unique resistance to extreme temperatures, allowing for great molding capabilities. Common uses include:
- Computer components 
- Industrial systems and controls
- Appliances

PC  POLYCARBONATE
This form of thermoplastic polymer is highly malleable and retains high impact strength, and can be molded into several kinds of products. This material is formed by way of condensation polymerization allowing for a three-part oxygen bond. Examples of manufactured products include bulletproof windows and compact discs. Common uses include:
- Compact Discs
- Bottles
- Products Requiring Resistance to Environmental Stress

PC/ABS
This blend of engineered resins pairs the immense flexibility and versatile properties of PC with the durability of ABS. Common uses include:
- Automotive parts
- Electronic parts
- Telecommunication applications

PC/PBT
A blend of resistance to impact and heat, provided by the PC, this being coupled with the chemical resistance of PBT.  Common uses include:
- Power tool application
- Light bulb applications
- Car parts

PPO  POLYPHENYLENE OXIDES
PPO is a particular family of engineered resins that is typically identified on the market for having an extremely high tolerance to an entire range of temperatures. This material also demonstrates a tremendous capability for hydrolytic strength. Common uses include:
- Electrical Protection
- Cellular device part applications
- Household products

PSF  POLYSULFONE
PSF exhibits clear, strong and non-toxic attributes. Also this material brings a resistance to acids, bases and certain alcohols. All of these properties allowing for chemical, impact, and temperature resistance. Common uses include:
- Beakers
- Test tubes
- Used in medical procedures

PUR POLYURETHANE
PUR is a classified thermosetting polymer, and is used in various elastomer products. Retaining immense abrasion resistance qualities, while exhibiting stiffness and yet elasticity qualities, this material is capable of being manufactured into a multitude of products.
- Carpet Padding
- Camel Back Rubber
- Un-Cured Rubber

PVC  POLYVINYL CHLORIDE
This material is a polymer that is manufactured through the process of polymerizing vinyl chloride. This compound can undergo processes such as extrusion, injection molding, compression molding and others. Note that depending on the amount of plasticization this material can vary in strength and rigidity. Typically PVC is strong and is hard to burn, it has a strong tolerance to acids and bases. Common uses include:
- Siding and Flashing
- Pipe and Conduit
- Window Frames
- Bottles and Packaging
