Recycling is big business these days, isn't it?
Yes, it's definitely a growing business.
What do you recycle in your plant?
Mainly plastics. Plastics aren't bio degradable - they don't break down easily in the environment - so they shouldn't be thrown away.
How is plastic recycled, then?
Well, there are basically two methods. One is to break down the chemicals in the plastic into smaller chemical particles. These can then be used in the production of new chemicals.
Is that the method you use here?
No, we don't do that here. We recycle polyethylene and we make it into other products.
How do you do that?
By melting it down and then reforming it. Our main products are bin liners for kitchen bins and carrier bags for supermarkets.
