Committed to A Cleaner Environment

Keen Products are committed to a cleaner, greener environment.

We offer various raw material options including re-granulated materials.

Manufacturing materials can be broken down into two classes - 'VIRGIN GRADE' and 'RE-GRANULATED GRADE'.

These two materials offer many different properties and as a brief explanation:-

 'Virgin Grade' material is a 'Never Before Used' polymer, a bit like a brand new car - no miles, no previous owner or driver and fresh off the forecourt.

'Re-granulated Grade' material on the other hand can be explained as a second hand car. It's had previous owners, got miles on the clock, may not be the same as a new car and may not perform as a new car, BUT - it gets you from A to B and does the job.

Wherever possible consider the use of 'Re-granulated Material' - Here are the facts that some other Manufacturers will not tell you as they would rather sell you 're-granulated material 'WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE'.

It's CHEAPER

It's Re-Processed Material - sometimes many times over

It's harder to process for the Manufacturer

It's is NOT as strong as first grade

The 'SLIP' level is difficult to control and very often cannot be specified

It can LOOK like virgin material

It CAN look different to Virgin

It will NOT perform like virgin material

It's is better for the environment

With all these 'negative' views, why choose regran material ?

Well, apart from the lower PRICE, regran material can be used on a 'suitable for need basis'. Did you know that virtually ALL refuse sacks are made from regranulated material ?

Here's a simple test - SMELL a refuse sack - it has a burnt tarnished smell to it - That's an indication of re-granulated material

'but it does the job'

There are many applications where re-granulated material will do the job, but due to its more competitive pricing structure its important to realise when your being sold regran - especially when what you really want is a virgin grade.

Ask us where regran material might be used and we will give you an unbiased point of view and if our experience tells us that regran will do - we will tell you and not only will it make it cheaper for you - YOU also will be doing your bit for the environment.
