What we recycle?

We recycle a variety of polymers for use in many different applications. Our Sustane® range of premium quality shrink films, for example, contains 30 percent recycled content and delivers high levels of technical performance, allowing its adoption for a wide range of applications where previously prime polymer was used.

With recycling facilities in both the UK and mainland Europe, we can help our customers achieve their sustainability goals on a local, national and international level.
