Plastics Recycling
|
Did you know that recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60 watt light bulb for 6 hours?
In the UK, approximately 5 million tonnes of plastics are used each year, yet even now only a small percentage is being recycled - although this figure is increasing. The environmental benefits of plastics recycling are so tangible - massive amounts of energy can be saved, natural resources such as oil conserved, reduced emissions of greenhouse gases reduced and valuable space is spared from landfill. Smurfit Kappa Recycling can help you achieve these benefits for our communities. As one of the UK's major collectors or recyclable plastics, we have markets for all materials - polythene, polypropylene, plastic bottles and hard plastics.
We collect loose and baled plastic film from some of the major UK retailers and have contracts with numerous local authorities for recovery of plastic bottles.
