Japanese Recycled PP & PP/PE Pellets
for Asian Plastic Pallet Manufacturers
Premium Japan-origin recycled polypropylene and PP/PE blend pellets, supplied directly to plastic pallet manufacturers, injection molders, and logistics-product makers across Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and other Asian markets. Test data sheets, FIBC packaging, and FCL container shipping included as standard.
Plastic Pallet Co., Ltd. exports four grades of Japanese-origin recycled PP and PP/PE pellets to Asian plastic pallet manufacturers and injection molders. Grades #1, #2, and #4 are PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled), and Grade #3 is ASR-origin (automotive shredder residue). Three of the four grades have proven track record in one-way pallet molding inside Japan. Standard supply is FIBC packaging, 40-foot FCL container shipment of approximately 24 tons per grade, with monthly availability of 1–3 containers per grade. The recommended approach for stable, scalable supply is to use Grade #3 as the base resin and blend Grade #1, #2, or #4 into it as a property modifier.
Supply at a Glance
Who This Is For
This product range is built for buyers who need consistent, traceable, Japan-origin recycled polyolefin rather than commodity-grade mixed scrap. We focus on three buyer categories across Asia:
- Plastic pallet manufacturers in Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines producing one-way (export) pallets, returnable pallets, and heavy-duty industrial pallets.
- Injection molders producing logistics products such as containers, crates, returnable boxes, dunnage, and industrial parts where cost-effective recycled resin is preferred over virgin PP.
- Compounders and trading houses looking for stable Japanese feedstock to blend with virgin or other recycled streams for property tuning and cost optimization.

Grade #1 · Recycled PP/PE — Gray, Hot-Cut
Recycled PP/PE Pellet — Gray, Hot-Cut
Balanced general-purpose grade · proven in one-way pallet molding
Grade #1 is a gray-colored hot-cut PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) PP/PE pellet with a proven track record in one-way pallet molding. It is one of the easiest grades to propose to overseas pallet makers and logistics-product manufacturers because Japanese converters have already validated it on commercial molding lines.
The grade balances flow, stiffness, density, and ash level, making it suitable for one-way pallets, logistics products, general-purpose injection-molded parts, and industrial components.
Supply: FIBC packaging, 1–2 containers per month, ~24 tons per 40ft container.
Grade #2 · Recycled PP/PE — Brown, Hot-Cut
Recycled PP/PE Pellet — Brown, Hot-Cut
Stiffness-oriented · used in Japan for one-way pallet production
Grade #2 is a brown-colored hot-cut PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) PP/PE pellet, actively used inside Japan for one-way pallet molding. The values shown below represent an average of six samples taken from three FIBC bags (two samples per bag).
With flexural strength of 32.1 MPa and flexural modulus exceeding 1000 MPa, this grade is a strong fit for parts that require stiffness: one-way pallets, thick-wall molded parts, logistics components, pallet-related fittings, and industrial parts.
Supply: FIBC packaging, 2–3 containers per month, ~24 tons per 40ft container.
Grade #3 · Recycled PP — Black, Strand-Cut (ASR-origin)
Recycled PP Pellet — Black, Strand-Cut, ASR-origin
High-impact PP · proven in one-way pallet molding · 158-lot statistical data
Grade #3 is a black, strand-cut recycled PP pellet (note: PP only, not PP/PE blend). It has a proven track record in one-way pallet molding, and is also widely used in Japan for industrial materials and civil engineering / construction materials.
A mean Charpy impact value of 14.4 kJ/m² is approximately 3× the Charpy of Grade #1 and 4–5× the Izod of Grades #2 and #4 — making Grade #3 the clear high-impact option in our lineup. Combined with a flexural modulus mean of 1122 MPa, it delivers both stiffness and toughness, which is exactly what one-way and heavy-duty pallets need.
Supply: 1-ton FIBC packaging, 2–3 containers per month, ~24 tons per 40ft container.

Recommended Grade by Application
One-way / export pallets
One-way pallets demand a balance of stiffness, impact, and price. Both #1 and #3 have proven track record; #2 is also actively used in Japan for this exact application.
Heavy-duty / impact-sensitive
For drop-impact tolerance, cold-warehouse use, and heavy industrial loads, you want the highest impact grade. #3 at 14.4 kJ/m² Charpy mean (max 35.0) plus 1122 MPa flexural modulus mean is the clear choice — roughly 3× the impact of #1 and 4–5× #2 / #4.
Stiffness-critical thick-wall parts
If your pallet or industrial part needs to resist sag and creep under sustained load, choose the stiffness leader. #2 with flexural strength 32.1 MPa and modulus 1066 MPa fits well; #3 also offers a similar stiffness profile (modulus 1122 mean) with much higher impact.
Bulking compound / cost reduction
When you want to dilute virgin PP cost while preserving ductility, #4 is purpose-built. Its 560% elongation at break gives toughness even at high loadings in the blend.
Industrial / civil-engineering & construction materials
Grade #3 is already used in Japan for industrial materials and civil engineering & construction materials. ASR-origin PP at this property level is a natural fit for non-electronic, non-food-contact infrastructure parts where toughness and cost matter more than aesthetics.
Buyers who need RoHS-relevant screening data
Grade #3 ships with XRF results for Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg, and Br. Useful for buyers whose customers require an up-front heavy-metal screen before the resin enters their supply chain — even if final RoHS conformity must still be declared based on speciation testing per lot.
Blend Strategy — Use Grade #3 as Your Base Resin
Maximize material yield by blending around Grade #3
Each of the four grades can be molded as a stand-alone resin, and many of our customers do start that way for qualification. But once a buyer is established with us, the most cost-effective and supply-stable approach is to treat Grade #3 as the base resin and blend one of the other three grades into it.
The reason is structural: Grade #3 is our designated export grade, and we can scale up production of it on demand. Grades #1, #2, and #4 are supplied at 1–3 containers per month each, so when you anchor the recipe to #3 and use the others as property modifiers, you protect your monthly throughput against the natural ups and downs of any single recycled stream.
There is also a direct cost benefit: because Grade #3 is already a deep black pellet, blending around it eliminates the need for a separate black-coloring masterbatch. A typical carbon-black masterbatch is dosed at 2–3% by weight on top of the resin cost, and once #3 makes up roughly 20–40% or more of the recipe, the finished pallet comes out black on its own. That is recurring savings on every single ton — no masterbatch SKU to source, no metering pump to maintain, no extra inventory.
Balanced general-purpose pallet recipe
Combine the high-impact ASR-origin #3 with the balanced PP/PE #1. The #1 brings a slightly lower MFR and softer flow profile, which can help fill complex pallet ribs at the same time that #3 carries the impact and stiffness load.
Useful when the buyer wants the toughness of #3 but a more general-purpose flow window. The black of #3 dominates the finished color — no black masterbatch needed.
Maximum-stiffness heavy-duty recipe
Layer the stiffness leader #2 (flexural strength 32.1 MPa, modulus 1066 MPa) onto the high-impact base of #3. The combination pushes flexural performance up further while keeping Charpy impact well above the level of #2 alone (3.1 kJ/m² Izod).
The natural fit for thick-wall pallets, heavy industrial loads, racking-grade pallets, and any part that has to resist sag under sustained weight without becoming brittle.
Ductility-tuned cost-down recipe
Use #4 — with its 560% elongation at break — as a ductility booster on top of the rigid, high-impact #3. This shifts the failure mode of #3 from a more brittle break toward a tougher, more ductile failure, while #4's role as a known bulking compound also pulls down the overall cost.
Recommended where a pallet sees repeated drops, forklift abuse, or cold-warehouse use, and where a small loss of stiffness is acceptable in exchange for break-resistance and price.
① Supply security — because Grade #3 is our export grade, we can ramp up production volume in response to your forecast. Grades #1, #2, and #4 are valuable but volume-limited monthly streams. By making #3 the base of your recipe (typically 60–80%) and using #1, #2, or #4 as the property-tuning addition (typically 20–40%), you get a recipe that scales with your demand and that we can keep delivering month after month — instead of a recipe that breaks the moment one of the smaller streams fluctuates.
② No black masterbatch needed — Grade #3 is already a deep, fully pigmented black pellet from carbon already present in the ASR feedstock. Once it occupies the major share of the recipe, the molded pallet comes out uniformly black with no additional colorant. A typical black masterbatch dosed at 2–3% adds a recurring cost on every ton; eliminating it is a straight saving that flows to the gross margin of every pallet you ship.
Pellet Shape: Hot-Cut vs Strand-Cut
Hot-Cut (Grades #1 and #2)
Hot-cut pellets tend to have a more rounded, lens-like geometry. Bulk density and flow are generally consistent, and the rounded shape can be easier to handle in injection-molding feed systems.
Strand-Cut (Grades #3 and #4)
Strand-cut pellets are made by extruding strands, cooling them in water, and chopping them. The result is a cylindrical pellet shape, which is the traditional and most widely accepted geometry in commodity-resin handling. #3 is the high-impact, ASR-origin option in this shape, and #4 is the bulking-compound option.
