THE LOOP
ON ELV.
PRI engineers recycled plastic for automotive programs — from end of life to next life. We are the only U.S. recycler capable of fully washing, sorting, depainting, and refining ELV plastics back into engineered compounds for new vehicle production.
Every pound of PRI compound displaces a pound of virgin resin — with ISCC PLUS chain-of-custody documentation of your recycled content, which also supports your separate Scope 3 reporting.

What Automotive Buyers Ask PRI
The questions we get.
The answers we have.
Straight answers to the questions automotive procurement and materials teams ask most about sourcing recycled plastic for automotive programs. Backed by 38 years of operations and the only full ELV processing capability in the U.S.
"Do your compounds qualify on first submission?"
In-house lab validates every lot against spec. Full mechanical, thermal, and chemical testing data available with every sample kit. Our compounds are engineered to qualify — not to be re-engineered after the fact.
"Can you document your recycled content?"
ISCC PLUS Mass Balance certification provides full chain-of-custody documentation from feedstock to pellet — verified recycled content you can stand behind. That documentation also supports your separate Scope 3 reporting.
"Are these true ELV-sourced compounds?"
PRI is the only U.S. facility with full end-of-life vehicle wash, sort, depaint, and refine capability. We source from automotive shredder residue and ELV streams — converting end-of-life material back into engineered, in-spec resin for new vehicle production.
