Nylon / PA Scrap
We buy PA6 and PA66 engineering scrap: industrial offcuts, airbag fabric, fishing nets and moulding sprues — the highest-value stream we handle, always enquiry-led.
Polyamide is engineering material, and its scrap trades at multiples of commodity polymers — provided identity and history are known. We buy PA6 and PA66 offcuts from compounders and moulders, airbag fabric and cut-outs, fishing and aquaculture nets, and single-source sprue/runner streams. Every deal starts with a declared origin and a sample; glass-filled content, contamination and moisture are stated up front. Turkish compounders convert the material into engineering compounds for automotive and electrical applications.
Technical specification
| Polymers | PA6, PA66; blends declared | |
|---|---|---|
| Forms | Offcuts, fabric, nets, sprues, regrind | |
| Glass fill | Declared %, segregated | |
| Moisture | Dry stored; PA is hygroscopic | |
| Origin | Declared source per lot |
Compliance & documentation
- Waste / product classification
- Sorted single-polymer PA ships green-list under B3011; clean post-industrial regrind may ship as product where end-of-waste criteria are met — confirmed per contract.
- Certification chain
- EA registered waste carrier/broker/dealer (upper tier); consignee licence verified for waste shipments.
- Documentation supplied
- Annex VII (waste shipments) or commercial docs (product)
- Origin and material declaration per lot
- Sample retention and lab reference where tested
- Photographic loading report
- Türkiye import notes
- Engineering-grade PA is sought by Turkish compounders; identity documentation smooths import clearance.

Applications & end markets
Where PA scrap goes:
- Recompounded PA6/PA66 for automotive parts
- Glass-filled engineering compounds
- Fibre and monofilament production
- Regenerated nylon programmes (nets)
Quality & inspection
- 01
Identity first: material declaration and sample per lot before pricing.
- 02
Verification testing (FTIR/ash) on new sources.
- 03
Segregation check: PA6 vs PA66 vs filled grades kept apart.
- 04
Dry storage confirmed — PA absorbs water and price with it.
- 05
Loading photographed; arrival reconciliation closes the file.
