The Importance Of Plastic Waste Recycling

Plastic waste recycling conserves fossil fuels used in the production of virgin plastics. Fossil fuels account for over 75% of all greenhouse gas emissions and 90% of carbon dioxide emissions.

When we recycle plastic waste, we can reduce these pollutants contributing to global warming and save raw resources.

The Plastic Recycling Process

COLLECTION

Our licensed waste carriers will collect your plastic waste at a time that suits your business. We will then transport the materials to one of our network of licensed processing facilities.

RECYCLING

This process involves sorting, separating, cleaning and shredding the plastics. Once the shredding process has been completed, the waste plastic material is usually granulated or flaked.

MANUFACTURING

The flakes can be melted down and reused for the manufacturing of new products. These can then be reintroduced back into the market.

FAQs

WHERE DOES THE WASTE MATERIAL GO?

We have a network of licenced processing facilities within the UK. The destination depends on the type, quantity and quality of material. We can provide a full audit trail to satisfy our customer requirements.

What is the minimum collection?

Usually we collect a minimum of 4-5 tonnes of waste plastic, cardboard or paper. This does vary slightly depending on the quantity, quality and type of waste and recycling material

Where do you collect from?

We collect from all over the UK using our back-haul network. Each location will differ with cost, however, we can remove multiple waste streams on one truck. Our team will ensure the most cost effective option is offered.

How much do plastic recycling companies cost?

For some waste we can offer a rebate for scrap plastic and cardboard recycling collected. For others there is a collection charge. Our service is usually more cost effective than using a general waste collector. We also supply cardboard and plastic balers for hire which can increase the profitability of your waste.

Do you collect different waste streams on one truck?

Yes, and we highly recommend doing this where possible. For most of our customers, we can remove mixed waste all on the same truck when separated. This may include plastics and packaging.

Can we deliver to you?

Depending on your location, delivering directly into a recycling facility may be a good option. Please let us know the waste materials you have and the location they’re stored. Your account manager can then give some options for delivery.
