TRADITIONAL RECYCLINGPlastic regrind is fed into an extruder to make plastic pellets.

AGS RECYCLINGFormulated regrind is fed directly into the injection molding machine to make parts. • Eliminates a manufacturing step and the associated cost/margin.

• Eliminates a material heat history.

• Eliminates finger pointing.

THE AGS PROCESS

AGS BENEFIT: SUPERIOR TRACK RECORDAGS Technology has an excellent quality and delivery track record with demanding customers. As a result, AGS Technology has been awarded significant new business from automotive and non-automotive customers.

AGS BENEFIT: RECYCLING SOLUTIONSParts made from Injectoblend™ materials are based on post-industrial and post-consumer sources of plastic making them inherently recycled and environmentally friendly. AGS also provides closed loop recycling solutions.

AGS BENEFIT: MATERIAL PERFORMANCEParts made from Injectoblend™ materials are used in applications that are subjected to demanding physical, thermal, and environmental conditions.

AGS BENEFIT: GLOBALLY COMPETITIVEParts made from less expensive Injectoblend™ materials are globally competitive since the bulk of the cost of a “shoot and ship” injection molded part is raw material.

In December 2017 AGS Technology expanded its warehouse and assembly operations with an additional 20,124 square foot facility in Batavia, IL.

Investing in automation and vision systems to minimize labor.AGS BENEFIT: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

AGS BENEFIT: DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGYInvesting in cutting edge low constant pressure molding technology to automatically adjust for recycled plastic viscosity differences to eliminate flash and short shots in addition to many other benefits.

GETTING STARTED – NEW & EXISTING TOOLING1) Customer identifies part candidates that are best suited for the AGS process:

• Material intensive parts.

• AGStimator is available online at www.agstechnology.com to help assist in this process.

2) AGS Technology provides two quotations:

• Engineering grades of unfilled and filled thermoplastics such as ABS, ABS+PC, Acetal, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Polyester, etc…

• Virgin or currently specified material on the drawing. • Injectoblend™ recycled equivalent.

3) Customer sources or transfers tooling to AGS Technology:• AGS Technology submits PPAP and runs virgin or currently specified material to support customer’s production. • AGS Technology submits PPAP and sample parts made from Injectoblend™ recycled equivalent for customer to validate.• Establish breakpoint for transition to Injectoblend™ recycled parts based on formal approval by customer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHow does AGS Technology assure continuity of supply?

• AGS has developed strong relationships with a wide network of brokers, dealers, collectors, and generators.

• AGS does not rely on any single source or feed stream of recycled raw material.

• AGS inventories large safety stocks since recycled raw material only becomes available when it is generated.

• Fallback or contingency plan is to use virgin raw material at no additional cost to the customer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSDoes tooling require any special modifications in order to run the Injectoblend™ recycled material?

• No special tooling modifications are required.

• AGS has developed its own tooling standards manual to ensure molds are designed, built, and optimized to run Injectoblend™ recycled material.

• AGS Injectoblend™ parts will be “as good or better” than parts made from virgin material.
