Plastic business recycling in Bristol and Beyond

Plastic is a material that such a large portion of businesses deal with on a daily basis. For this reason, it is important that we can provide a solution that suits everyone. We strive to capture and recycle this material effectively within the UK. This is to minimise the negative impact it can make, as well as improve the recycling rates of our city.

Whether you are a packaging company, a restaurant or an office who provide their staff with stationery, we know that lots of items come wrapped in plastic. Regardless of the size of your business or your industry, we are able to provide you with a service that suits you. By choosing us, you can look forward to reduced costs and raised recycling rates.

We can support you in collecting your plastic in two different ways:

  • We can provide you with a plastic-only container.
  • Or it can be recycled with paper and cans as part of our DMR (dry mixed recycling) service.

Our process

We have the expertise to collect your plastic materials in a variety of methods depending on the volume created, whilst prioritising the protection of the environment. This includes individual grade and mixed loads, as well as trade waste bins.

Once your plastic and/or dry mixed recycling is collected, the materials are sorted into their individual waste streams. The plastic is baled and taken to the local processing plant. On arrival it is reprocessed and the plastic is broken down and cleaned. These smaller pieces are then melted and moulded into new plastic items ready to be recycled and returned to market.
