Seraphim Plastics has earned a strong reputation as one of the most dependable partners for post-industrial plastic recycling across the Midwest and Southeast. For more than 20 years, we have specialized in buying, processing, and selling recycled plastic materials that help manufacturers, warehouses, and distributors reduce waste, free up space, and strengthen sustainability efforts.

With a state-of-the-art 60,000 sq. ft. reprocessing facility in Memphis, Tennessee, along with sales offices in Detroit, Michigan and Knoxville, Tennessee, Seraphim Plastics has the capacity, logistics, and expertise to handle recycling programs for companies of nearly any size.

What sets us apart is our exclusive focus on industrial scrap. Unlike consumer recyclers that process mixed and contaminated materials, we only accept clean, sorted post-industrial plastics. This allows us to deliver a faster, cleaner, and more cost-efficient recycling process that produces high-quality regrind and pellets ready for manufacturing reuse.

At Seraphim Plastics, we don’t just recycle plastic—we turn scrap into value. Our services include:

  • Scrap Purchasing & Pickup – We purchase large volumes of post-industrial scrap such as totes, buckets, pallets, purge, runners, and other clean, sorted materials. To see more, visit our page on plastics we buy.
  • Grinding & Processing – Our facility grinds and reprocesses scrap into consistent plastic regrind or pellets, giving manufacturers a reliable feedstock for new products.
  • Documentation & Compliance – Every transaction comes with weight tickets, compliance records, and prompt payment. Transparency is built into every step of the process.
