High-Quality HIPS Recovery, Sorting & Aggregation for Sustainable Manufacturing

CompuPoint USA, LLC provides certified commodity aggregation services for High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)—a durable, versatile, and widely used thermoplastic found throughout the electronics, appliance, packaging, and consumer goods industries.

 

As an R2v3 and RIOS™ certified recycling company, we responsibly collect, sort, process, and aggregate HIPS materials sourced primarily from electronic waste, consumer products, industrial scrap, and manufacturing offcuts.

 

HIPS is valued for its impact resistance, dimensional stability, ease of molding, and low cost, making it a top-choice material for numerous applications.

 

Because HIPS is a thermoplastic, it can be re-melted, re-shaped, and recycled repeatedly, making it ideal for closed-loop recycling and circular economy systems.

  • Plastic molders & extruders

  • Packaging manufacturers

  • Electronics manufacturers

  • Appliance manufacturers

  • Automotive suppliers

  • 3D printing material companies

  • Recycling brokers & commodity buyers

  • Industrial design & prototyping companies

We deliver consistent volume, quality, and compliance for manufacturers of all sizes.

The importance of HIPS Recycling & Commodity

Recycling and aggregating HIPS reduces environmental impact by:

 

  • Minimizing plastic waste entering landfills

  • Decreasing the demand for petroleum-based virgin plastic

  • Lowering carbon emissions in manufacturing

  • Supporting sustainable material sourcing

  • Creating consistent supply streams for recycled plastic markets

Through advanced recycling and precise material segregation, CompuPoint USA transforms post-consumer and post-industrial HIPS into valuable raw material.

Characterstics of Recycled HIPS

HIPS is popular across industries because it is:

 

  • Economical — cost-effective for large-volume production

  • Impact-Resistant — strong enough for daily-use products

  • Dimensionally Stable — ideal for precision parts

  • Glossy & Paintable — attractive surface finish

  • Easily Molded — suitable for thermoforming, extrusion, and injection molding

  • FDA-Compliant Variants Available — depending on specification and application

These properties make HIPS one of the most valuable plastics in circular manufacturing ecosystems.

Reprocessed HIPS from CompuPoint USA is used in:

 

  • Television and monitor casings

  • Refrigerator liners

  • Disposable plates, cups, and cutlery

  • Packaging trays and clamshells

  • Toys and household items

  • 3D printing filament bases

  • Machine prototypes and molded parts

  • Retail display fixtures

  • Automotive interior components

Our high-quality HIPS regrind is suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer products.

Common Applications of Recycled HIPS

HIPS sourced from Electronic Waste

Many electronics contain significant volumes of HIPS in:

 

  • TV housings

  • Computer monitor frames

  • Printer & copier shells

  • Game consoles & accessories

  • Power tool casings

  • Office equipment and appliances

Through certified e-waste recycling, CompuPoint USA captures pristine HIPS material and diverts it from landfills into sustainable reuse.

Our Environmental & Regulatory  Compliance

CompuPoint USA follows strict industry standards to ensure responsible handling of HIPS plastic:

  • R2v3 Responsible Recycling Standard

  • RIOS™ Integrated Management System

  • EPA, OSHA & state environmental laws

  • Downstream due diligence & material traceability

  • Zero-landfill for recoverable plastics

These standards guarantee environmental protection and ensure that all HIPS material is recycled through certified, verified pathways.
