Recycled Plastics Identification ID Testing and Analysis Service

Identify the post industrial or post-consumer plastic using our Plastic ID service at Associated Polymer Labs. We have over 30 years experience with plastics.

Using the latest Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectrometry technology we are able to quickly identify plastic types from the recycle stream.

  • Positive Plastic ID from your recycling
  • Identify the plastic prior to the purchase
  • Reduce the number of cases of material cross contamination during the recycling process
  • Contamination identification

Plastic Identification Service

Plastic Identification using FTIR  includes a single page summary report with the top 5 plastics found in FTIR spectra Libraries and Infrared Spectroscopy Interpretation with comments.

Do you have many samples for identification testing?

Submit your samples (Table spoon to ¼ cup is plenty) to the following address:

Include your contact information:
