Primary customers are automotive manufacturers and tier suppliers generating multi-layer instrument panels, door panels, and painted TPO, PP, ABS, and PC/ABS parts. The company also serves broader post-industrial plastic waste streams, offering closed-loop programs that return reprocessed pellets or certified compounds to the original molder. ACI Plastics differentiates itself with a patented paint-removal process that meets Class A surface requirements, a commercialized multi-layer separation technology achieving over 99.98% purity, an A2LA-accredited lab certified to ISO 17025:2017, and a logistics operation that handles pickup and delivery. The firm states its closed-loop model reduces material cost below virgin resin pricing.
