It’s probably polyvinyl acetate.
Just out of curiosity, how are you going to get these injection molded? Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just buy them? Also, my guess is that they were vacuum formed, not molded.

Oh, I’m sorry. I read your question again. I see. You want to cut them up and injection mold something. They are thermoplastic, (whether they are PVA or not), so yes, you can use the plastic for injection molding.

Wouldn’t it be better to use polystyrene or acrylic?
