How we turn scrap into resin for use in plastic part production

leftover_scrap

The process begins when a Johnson Controls Automotive Experience plant cuts headliners from stock material.

The leftover scrap would normally be carted to a landfill.

resin_bales

Instead, the scrap is baled and trucked to a compounder.  

reground_resin

The compounder regrinds the scrap material.

The reground material is turned into plastic pellets and sent to a Johnson Controls molder who injects the recycled resin into molding machines to shape plastic parts (pictured at left). The new parts (right) are then sent to a Johnson Controls plant where they are assembled into the end product.
