EPDM Rubber Recycling Service for Manufacturers
We recycle and broker post-industrial EPDM from die-cutting, molding, extrusion, and converting. Share composition, form, volumes, and photos; we’ll line up regrind/reprocessing or resale (where appropriate), set transparent buy-out or brokerage pricing, coordinate nationwide pickups, and provide documentation to boost diversion and clear floor space.
How we handle post-industrial EPDM
We evaluate polymer, form, fillers/ash, packaging, and volumes, then match your EPDM to qualified reprocessors or resale channels when viable. Expect clear pricing (buy-out or brokerage), DOT-appropriate carriers, and diversion reporting—so scrap stops acting like waste and starts returning value.
What We Accept
Type: cured EPDM only, no attached metal/plastic/flock
Forms: die-cut skeletons, trim/flash, skiver, sheet/off-spec rolls, cured start-up/extruder purge (rubber), molded runners
Fillers: carbon black, CaCO₃; disclose ash %
Packaging: bales, gaylords, supersacks
Volumes: FTL preferred, LTL case-by-case
What We Can Accept (with a caveat)
Whole off-spec EPDM rolls (with/without backing) if sold as-is, no warranty, via secondary market
What We Don’t Accept
Uncured EPDM
Cured EPDM with metal, plastic, flock or other material attached
Roofing tear-offs, membranes, or any C&D
Hazardous residues or oil-soaked materials
Mixed rubber loads that aren’t labeled/segregated by polymer
How It Works
Specs & photos (SDS/TDS, durometer, ash %, monthly tons)
Outlet & pricing (regrind/reprocessing first; energy recovery last resort)
Logistics (LTL/FTL, live load or drop; BOLs & carrier coordination)
Reporting (diversion confirmation; monthly summaries on request)
Logistics & Coverage
Nationwide pickups • Dry van standard (flatbed by request) • 5–10 business-day lead time from approved spec • Preferred prep: uniform pallets, banded/wrapped; bale dimensions & weights noted on BOL
Industries We Serve
Automotive gaskets/seals • Industrial hose/profiles • Building products • Custom rubber molders & converters • DCs with recurring EPDM returns
Documentation & Compliance
W-9, COI, NDA on request • Certificates of diversion for qualified programs • Buyer/channel restrictions honored
Case Example
An auto weather-strip plant (~10,000 lb/mo die-cut skeletons) segregated adhesive-backed vs clean trim. Clean trim went to reprocessing—cutting disposal cost and boosting diversion.
FAQs
Q1. Do you buy EPDM scrap or charge for pickup?
A. Both occur depending on polymer value, cleanliness, volumes, and freight—some lots qualify for buy-out, others are brokerage.
Q2. What minimum volume works best?
A. Pilots can start near 2,000 lb, but full truckloads (~20,000 lb+) typically achieve stronger pricing and faster movement.
Q3. Can you take EPDM with fabric/adhesive backing?
A. Not for loose scrap pieces. Whole off-spec rolls may be placed on a secondary market as-is, case-by-case.
Q4. What specs help you quote quickly?
A. Polymer = EPDM, durometer, ash/filler %, form, monthly tons, photos, packaging, pickup ZIP, loading method, frequency, SDS/TDS.
Q5. Do you accept mixed rubber loads?
A. No. Loads must be labeled and segregated by polymer to protect outlets and pricing.
