Enva provides recycled Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) polymers to manufacturers across the UK. By purchasing directly from Enva customers can benefit from additional cost savings.

Enva is one of the UK’s leading plastic recyclers, recycling around 80% of the plastic from mixed WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) derived from Small domestic appliances such as toasters, kettles and vacuum cleaners.  This consistent input material combined with the latest technologies enables Enva to produce extremely high-quality recycled polymers.  All our material is REACH and RoHS compliant and material safety data sheets technical data sheets can be supplied on request.

However, if your part is white or transparent, the molding price will be higher than other regular colors. A cleaner molding condition adds cost for molding factories.

ABS products produced by Enva customers include furniture fixtures and fittings, cable reels, pencil sharpeners, plastic drawers, under bonnet applications, automotive parts, cupholders, gear sticks, plastic container, kitchen unit feet, licence plate backing, TV housing, keyboards.

The part color is the factor that designers and product engineers will neglect, as they assume piece pricing of all colors is the same.

PP polymers produced by Enva customers include pipe parts, school chairs, under bonnet applications, automotive parts, kitchen unit sockets, coat hangers, plastic drums, buckets, baskets.

For manufacturers of commodity and technical products, the realisation of these benefits can be almost immediate. Recycled plastic has no impact on product quality and can be substituted into manufacturing processes without the need for additional process modifications or lengthy testing periods.

The use of recycled polymer provides injection moulders and other manufacturers with the ability to realise significant cost savings over the use of virgin material, whilst manufacturing a more environmentally friendly and highly marketable product.

There are many factors that can affect the cost on making an mold and running molding production. Here we show you three examples how the various pricing might have. Please note that the price can vary depending on your parts size, weight and complexity.

The plastic molding material you selected will affect both tooling cost and piece pricing, which varies from different types of materials.

Complexity plays a vital role in molding costs. It adds extra works to mold making and more steps on molding production. Tolerance requirements, fine detailing, or the number of undercuts are the main reasons.

PS & HIPS products produced by Enva customers include plant pots, coat hangers, mushroom trays, seed trays, planting troughs, footwear, wall plugs, cable caps, cable reels, storage contains, waterproof drums, fastening lips, identification tags, keyrings.

Mirror polishing adds cost to injection molding, which requires hardened steels (NAK 80 Steel) to create the molds and cleaner injection molding condition. Also, a higher texturing requirement is another reason to cost increases.

Mold life affects mainly the tooling cost. Prototype molds use regular steels such as P20 or 718H. For production molds at higher volume, hardened steel would be required, like NAK 80 or H13.

“How much does the China injection molding cost to make my product?”;  “Is there any way to lower the mold cost in China?”. These are the most common questions we hear from our customers, especially start-ups. It’s quite understandable that the injection molding cost of a new plastic part is critical and sensitive, particularly when your budget is tight for a new design.
