Materials in Injection Molding | Recycled Plastics USA Made Manufacturing Tradeoffs

If you are building a product in the United States and considering recycled or bio based plastics, this episode is for you. In this conversation we break down what alternative materials actually mean inside real injection molding operations. Not marketing language. Not greenwashing. Real tradeoffs. We cover: • Virgin vs post industrial regrind • Post consumer recycled resin and why it costs more • Tolerance differences between virgin and recycled polypropylene • PLA and compostable plastics vs industrial composting reality • Why most “drop in replacements” are not actually drop in • Mold qualification risk and six figure tooling decisions • Production consistency, mechanical properties, and bad part rates • Airline sustainability initiatives and material buyback programs • Antimicrobial additives in molded products If you are an inventor, hardware startup founder, or entrepreneur exploring USA made manufacturing, material selection is not just about sustainability. It affects tooling cost, compliance, production stability, reviews, and long term brand trust. This channel is not about hype. It is about understanding manufacturing decisions before you commit capital. www.air-rep.net
