ABS for Laboratories:
ABS is a hard, rigid and tough plastic that is good for certain laboratory materials. It is also a great material because it has high impact resistance.

Recycling:
ABS does not have its own recycling code, but can be recycled into many other products. Check with your local government to see if facilities exist. For more information regarding ABS recycling see the Plastic Container Recycling Page
