ECO Plastics Ltd is the UK's leading and highest quality reprocessor of recyclable materials. We currently operate Europe’s largest and most technically advanced Mixed Plastic Bottle sorting facility. This plant sorts 140,000t of plastics each year, sourced primarily from Waste contractors and Local Authorities throughout the UK and Ireland, we are also increasing volumes sourced within Western Europe.
Having sorted the plastics by colour and polymer ECO Plastics Ltd then washes and extrudes the PET into PurePET78® (Food Grade rPET pellet). PurePET78® is used to replace virgin plastics in the production of new UK food and beverage packaging.
ECO Plastics Ltd is currently the only UK business producing ‘food grade’ quality PET pellet and as such our materials can be found in many UK household brands.
To support this operation and strengthen our service offering ECO Plastics Ltd works with a large portfolio of external reprocessors to handle many other grades of plastics.
The Future:
ECO Plastics has invested £17million to date and will further invest during 2011 to expand our UK PET recycling capacity and drive the UK recycling of other plastics.
