What is PBT regrind?
PBT regrind is a recycled plastic that is produced by shredding pure polybutylene terephthalate.
The regrind usually comes from industrial waste or unmixed production residues and represents a sustainable source of raw materials. It is ideal for applications that require a cost-effective and high-quality engineering plastic.
Our PBT regrind is available in a range of different qualities.

Environmentally friendly materials
PBT regrind is a sustainable alternative to virgin material, as it is obtained from pure recycled polybutylene terephthalate and thus contributes to the conservation of valuable resources.
Recycling engineering thermoplastics such as PBT reduces CO₂ emissions and the use of fossil raw materials. PBT is characterized by high heat resistance, good dimensional stability and excellent mechanical properties – even when recycled. This makes PBT regrind ideal for technical applications, for example in the automotive sector, in electrical engineering or in the manufacture of housings and components where dimensional stability and resilience are required.
The environmental impact is further reduced by the energy-efficient processing of regrind compared to the production of virgin material.
PBT regrind thus makes an important contribution to the circular economy and the sustainable use of engineering plastics.
Characteristics
PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) is a high-performance, semi-crystalline thermoplastic with high dimensional stability, good chemical resistance and excellent heat resistance. It also offers low water absorption and very good electrical insulation properties – ideal for technical applications.
How is PBT regrind produced?
PBT regrind is produced by shredding pure-grade PBT molded parts or production scrap using industrial mills. This process yields uniform plastic flakes or pellets that are well suited for further processing. Careful pre-sorting, cleaning and, if necessary, demetallization of the starting material are important for the quality of the regrind. The result is a reusable raw material for technical applications.
Advantages
PBT regrind offers a cost-effective and resource-saving alternative to virgin material without losing any of the fundamental material properties. By using recycled materials, the carbon footprint is significantly reduced and the consumption of fossil raw materials is decreased. In addition, the production is more energy-efficient, which further relieves the environment. Mahlgut delivers comparable performance for many technical applications, while also contributing to the promotion of a sustainable circular economy.
