cut your carbon footprint

Plastic recycling not only prevents plastic from ending up in landfills or the ocean, but it also helps your company reduce its CO2 impact. Recycled plastic products require less energy, in general, than their non-recycled counterparts.
We are currently seeing and experiencing the effects that plastic is having on our environment from just plastic packaging; such as plastic bottles, carrier bags, plastic bags and plastic films floating in our oceans.
One way in which you can minimise this smaller yet highly impactful post-consumer waste is by understanding resin identification codes and what the recycling symbols mean, so that you are using the correct recycling bins ensuring an efficient recycling collection.

what other waste do we recycle?

As well as bulk loads of plastic materials, we also deal with other waste recycling. This includes cardboard, paper, WEEE items and even hazardous materials. Ensuring we are increasing our recycling rates, we can save environment impact and boost a circular economy.
