4. TRADITIONAL RECYCLING
Plastic regrind is fed into an extruder to make plastic pellets.

5. AGS RECYCLING
Formulated regrind is fed directly into the injection molding machine to make parts.
Eliminates a manufacturing step and the associated cost/margin.
Eliminates a material heat history.
Eliminates finger pointing.

6. THE AGS PROCESS

7. AGS BENEFIT: SUPERIOR TRACK RECORD
AGS Technology has an excellent quality and delivery track record with demanding customers. As a result, AGS Technology has been awarded significant new business from automotive and non-automotive customers.

8. AGS BENEFIT: RECYCLING SOLUTIONS
Parts made from Injectoblend™ materials are based on post-industrial and post-consumer sources of plastic making them inherently recycled and environmentally friendly. AGS also provides closed loop recycling solutions.

9. AGS BENEFIT: MATERIAL PERFORMANCE
Parts made from Injectoblend™ materials are used in applications that are subjected to demanding physical, thermal, and environmental conditions.

10. AGS BENEFIT: GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE
Parts made from less expensive Injectoblend™ materials are globally competitive since the bulk of the cost of a “shoot and ship” injection molded part is raw material.

11. AGS BENEFIT: IATF REGISTERED
Injection molding and raw material facilities are IATF registered.

12. AGS BENEFIT: MINORITY OWNED BUSINESS
As a certified MBE, AGS Technology helps ensure that sourcing and new product introductions meet corporate diversity and procurement targets.

13. AGS BENEFIT: ROOM FOR GROWTH
In January 2015 AGS Technology successfully completed its move to a larger 78,000 square foot facility in Batavia, IL.
Previous Injection Molding Facility
Four overhead cranes 3.5 Tons to 17.5 Tons
Room for Injection Molding Presses
6500 Amp Electric Service
Underground Service Tunnel
7 Silos Rail Served
Large Land Site with Room for Expansion
In December 2017 AGS Technology expanded its warehouse and assembly operations with an additional 20,124 square foot facility in Batavia, IL.

14. AGS BENEFIT: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Investing in automation and vision systems to minimize labor.

15. AGS BENEFIT: DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Investing in cutting edge proprietary low constant pressure molding technology to automatically adjust for recycled plastic viscosity differences to eliminate flash and short shots.

16. GETTING STARTED – NEW & EXISTING TOOLING
1) Customer identifies part candidates that are best suited for the AGS process:
Material intensive parts.
Engineering grades of unfilled and filled thermoplastics such as ABS, ABS+PC, Acetal, Nylon, Polycarbonate, Polyester, etc…
AGStimator is available online at to help assist in this process.
2) AGS Technology provides two quotations:
Virgin or currently specified material on the drawing.
Injectoblend™ recycled equivalent.
3) Customer sources or transfers tooling to AGS Technology:
AGS Technology submits PPAP and runs virgin or currently specified material to support customer’s production.
AGS Technology submits PPAP and sample parts made from Injectoblend™ recycled equivalent for customer to validate.
Establish breakpoint for transition to Injectoblend™ recycled parts based on formal approval by customer.

17. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does AGS Technology assure continuity of supply?
AGS has developed strong relationships with a wide network of brokers, dealers, collectors, and generators.
AGS does not rely on any single source or feed stream of recycled raw material.
AGS inventories large safety stocks since recycled raw material only becomes available when it is generated.
Fallback or contingency plan is to use virgin raw material at no additional cost to the customer.

18. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does tooling require any special modifications in order to run the Injectoblend™ recycled material?
No special tooling modifications are required.
AGS has developed its own tooling standards manual to ensure molds are designed, built, and optimized to run Injectoblend™ recycled material.
AGS Injectoblend™ parts will be “as good or better” than parts made from virgin material.
