Recycling Technology

Our research and development enables us to widen the range of recyclable materials handled at Household Waste Recycling Centres, at our MRFs and other facilities. We are adding to this with our current research into:

• Processing of non-recycled residues to make Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), which can be used in place of coal and other fossil-fuels in industry and power generation
• Flaking and pelleting of plastics, including mixed plastics, so that it leaves our facilities ready for use in the plastics manufacturing industry
• Processing of glass to create material ready for re-manufacture

Our research covers new applications of existing technology as well as developing technology in its infancy prior to its scaling up for practical use.

Our service to you

Our research can provide you with solutions to problems you thought could not be solved. By constantly expanding the range of recyclable materials and incorporating these into our well-established market outlets for re-manufacturing, we can provide you with recycling solutions previously not available to you.

We are confident we have a solution to meet your needs. Talk to our Procurement Manager today, on 01773 860600.
