From the desk of Eric Smith, President C4 Polymers

After graduating college, I discovered the future possibilites of the plastics industry. I continued my education by utilizing the next seven years to learn its various facets. Subsequently, I took time to write a thorough business plan which included short and long term goals. Once the company was established, I began surrounding myself with strong and dedicated individuals that could advance my vision and philosophy for the growth of C4 Polymers. Growth does not come without striving to be the best, especially with an ever changing and challenging market. My philosophy is simple: don't make promises that you can't keep, remain honorable, and treat others as you expect to be treated... Period.

Solutions

Plastic Recycling Solutions

Whether it's storing, recycling, or anything in between we have solutions customized for you.

Buying Plastic

The best part of any manufacturing operation is the part you don’t have to think about. We make removal and payment for your scrap plastic fast, efficient and trouble-free. That’s why we’re the preferred plastics buyer for so many large manufacturers nationwide.

We show up when we’re needed, we get the job done, and then we get out of the way. But we don’t stop there - we work to make sure we are doing everything possible to keep things smooth and efficient. We have the buying power to take on as much as you’re willing to sell, and pay on time, every time.

The benefits of selling to C4:
Very competitive pricing, excellent credit
We purchase mixed loads, excess inventory and contaminated silos
Recycling programs available
Toll-grinding and reprocessing services available
Exporting capabilities
Expedited payment (30-days or less)

Supplying Plastic

Our resources are as wide as they are deep. It’s not just that we know where to find the resins you need; it's our ability to keep the supply flowing. It is likely we already have exactly what you need on hand, packaged and ready for delivery. Yet there’s another reason that it seems we always have what our clients are looking for because we pay attention. We work hard to learn and stay informed about the future market trends in order to keep us one step ahead.

Recycling Solutions

Engineered to Use

We supply more than just commodity resins; we can work with you to provide custom engineered plastics to meet your toughest specifications for such attributes as heat resistance, flame retardants, rigidity, tensile strength and more. We also provide materials testing to ensure consistent quality from batch to batch.

Blending to Reuse

By blending different scrap materials together to achieve specific properties, we’ve been able to provide many of our clients with quality, cost effective alternatives to virgin or custom engineered materials.

Time, Scheduling, and Logistics

Having worked with some of the country’s largest manufacturers, we understand the importance of precision scheduling for both scrap removal and just-in-time delivery systems. We have worked to build the necessary capacity in manpower, technology and machinery to keep everything running like clockwork - for both our own internal processes and wherever our service interacts with your operations.

Warehouse & Storage

If you’re selling, we have the trucks and storage capacity to take as much scrap as you can generate. If you’re buying, and you need extra storage capacity to meet spikes in demand, we have plenty of space to hold your plastics for just-in-time delivery. In fact, at C4, about the only thing greater than our storage capacity is our ability to solve problems and our willingness to do whatever it takes.

Our sites include:
Muncie Indiana
Chagrin Falls, Creative Recycling
Chagrin Falls, C4 Headquarters

Over 500,000 sq. ft. of storage capacity for all of your recycling needs.

Lab Testing Capabilities

Our services include:
Melt Flow – Standard Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplastics by Extrusion Plastometer per ASTM D1238. PP, HDPE, HMWPE, LLDPE, LDPE, HIPS, PS, ABS
Density & Specific Gravity - ASTM D 792 Standard Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity (Relative Density) of Plastics by Displacement Density
Ash Testing – help determine filler level in the plastic materials
Plastic Hardness

For any further testing required, we have partnered with a A2LA certified independent laboratory to pursue comprehensive physical testing of plastic materials.
