Plas-Tech: A Sustainable Bespoke Plastic Moulding Company
At Plas-Tech, we believe bespoke plastic moulding doesn’t have to come at the cost of the environment. As a long-established bespoke plastic moulding company based in East Yorkshire, we take sustainability seriously, without ever compromising on our service.
From injection moulding to vacuum forming, we have the tools and knowledge to deliver. But what sets us apart is how we do it with responsibility and our customers’ needs at the forefront.
Our Sustainable Approach to Bespoke Plastic Moulding
We’re not just a bespoke plastic moulding manufacturer; we’re a forward-thinking partner for businesses looking to reduce waste, lower carbon output, and still meet demanding project specifications.
Here’s how we combine precision engineering with environmental responsibility:
1. Investing in Efficient Machinery
We’ve modernised our facility with a fleet of energy-efficient machines, allowing us to:
- Reduce cycle times
- Save on energy
- Improve output quality
- Cut unnecessary waste
Our machines run alongside fully automated conveyor systems. This means we move less material by hand, reduce contamination risk, and improve consistency.
2. Using a Wide Range of Materials — Including Bioplastics
As a bespoke plastic moulding company, we work with over 20 different materials. These include common polymers like ABS, Nylon, and Polycarbonate, but we also work with biodegradable plastics.
By giving our clients the option to use more sustainable materials, we help reduce reliance on virgin plastic.
Materials we process include:
- Bioplastics for eco-conscious projects
- Recyclable thermoplastics like HDPE and PP
- Toughened polymers like Nylon GF for longer life cycles
3. Managing Waste & Recycling
We run a lean production setup that uses only what’s needed for each shot. This lowers waste at the moulding stage. We also regrind and reuse plastic where possible to cut down on scrap.
With injection moulding, precision matters. That’s why our average cycle times sit between 1-2 minutes, helping us keep processes tight and energy use low.
4. In-House Tooling & Prototyping
Because we manage tooling in-house, we reduce the need for external transport and third-party processing. This shortens lead times, lowers emissions, and gives our clients full control over the final product.
Whether it’s a Ureol prototype tool or a full aluminium production tool, it’s designed, made, and tested under one roof.
5. Local Production with Global Reach
We support UK and European clients with around-the-clock service. Our 24-hour production schedule means fast turnaround times, without flying parts halfway across the world.
We’ve built long-term relationships with industries in:
- Automotive
- Construction
- Leisure
- Lifting & Handling
- Point of Sale
Our products end up in vehicles, equipment and installations all over the world.
