Using FMP post-industrial material is the right thing to do for the environment, and it's the right thing to do technically, but on top of all of that, there are substantial economic benefits to use of FMP.

Here's an example:

A hypothetical plant, with a 20% by-product generation (including flash, scrap, runner systems) will generate in excess of 500KG of material per week.

That’s over $650,000 per year of cost that is an available resource for recycling.

Without recycling, the annual raw material costs are in excess of $2.5 million, and there is an annual disposal cost of several thousand dollars.
This plant can capture a nearly 15% cost reduction in materials

Every company needs to control costs. FRS is the right product for the environment but with the cost reduction aspect, it's also the right product for your company.
