By material
What we check on HIPS regrind and PET flakes
The checks follow the material. Post-industrial HIPS is clean at the source, so the work is mostly colour and size. Post-consumer PET needs more sorting.

|---|---|---|
| Source | Cup production scrap, never used | Post-consumer bottles |
| Colour | Multicolour, or blue and white | Several colour grades, subject to availability |
