Closed loop recycling
Plastic that comes back to us free of charge and goes out again as new parts.
01 / Overview
Keeping plastic in use.
We keep plastic in use for longer by turning waste back into material we can mould again. It is collected, reprocessed and returned to the manufacturing cycle, which cuts waste and the demand for virgin material.
We collect broken or damaged products from your site free of charge. At our factory they are cleaned, sorted by material, shredded and turned into pellets, then moulded into new products and delivered to you as normal. At the end of their life, they come back and go round again.
