AI-powered bale composition audit

Make better recycled-plastics buying decisions.

Assess bale quality, model feedstock value and identify where recovery, processing, freight and disposal costs reduce your margin.

Feedstock Margin Review — AUD $750

A fixed-price review of one PET, HDPE or PP stream: purchase cost or gate fee, composition, yield, processing, freight, disposal and saleable output. PDF report, assumptions summary and a 30-minute call. Scope is confirmed with you before any payment. See what's included

The free scan needs no account, card or email. BaleScan results are visual estimates from photos — not whole-bale sampling, laboratory verification or certified quality assessments.

Every contaminated bale eats into your margin.

Surprise contamination

You only discover the real mix after the bale is open — and the truck is gone.

Yield loss

Extra film, wrong resins and residue reduce throughput and increase reprocessing cost.

Weak supplier accountability

Without documented evidence at intake, disputes turn into your word against theirs.

Global Recycled Plastics Market Snapshot

Open the global Price Centre

Latest available public observation for selected markets worldwide — not a price for today. Every figure carries its currency, unit and commercial basis, so nothing is compared out of context.

Prices from different markets may not be directly comparable because specifications, incoterms, freight, duties, quality and reporting periods differ.
