Plastics Hero

We have a significant share of the UK's recovered plastic market, supplying high quality recycled plastic to buyers within the UK and Europe.

Recycled plastics consume at least 50% less energy; conserving natural resources versus crude oil and reduces waste to landfill and the environmental impact of waste processing and manufacture from virgin materials.
