Giving plasticsnew life.

Plastics recycling: the circular economy at its finest. Technology has evolved so fast that, recycling processes for plastic bottles are as quick as producing bottles using virgin plastics, saving energy and reducing CO

2 in the process.

There are so many uses for high quality recycled plastic materials, ranging from new bottles and trays, to underground drainage products and even fibre filling for soft furnishings. But still so much plastic ends up in landfill. We want to work with our customers to change that.

What’s in it for you?

As well as the feel-good factor of knowing your organisation is playing its part in reducing environmental impact, recycling also helps you:

• Drive down costs and hassle with a single waste management provider

• Meet or exceed your sustainability targets

• Enhance your green credentials: customers and prospects are looking to work with organisations who are ethical and sustainable

• Peace of mind: by working with a compliant, trustworthy provider

• Reduce the size and weight of your general waste bin by diverting plastic into recycling containers

• Generate revenue: by partnering with Viridor you could also be entitled to a rebate, turning the waste at the bottom of the bin, into ££s on your bottom line

Award-winning infrastructure

Viridor’s plastics recycling facilities are the most sophisticated of their kind in the country, and utilise the latest technology.

Winners of the ‘Lets Recycle’ Award for Excellence for ‘Best Design of a Waste Facility’. We have the capability to sort waste plastics to a far greater number of components, and drive value from every part.

Our teams are fully committed to recycling wherever possible with industry-leading efficiency, so capacity and reliability are never an issue.

Our own large fleet offers a flexible collection service, with our friendly and helpful drivers always ready to assist.

Our customers have 24-hour access to our facilities, if required for monitoring purposes. All material exports are compliant, ensuring you are never at risk of breaching environmental regulations, with supporting detailed analysis and reporting available.

Need recycling bins?

A trusted advisor

Partner with Viridor and you partner with a true expert in recycling. If required, we can make you experts too. We can offer training and educational resources to help your organisation make the most of our service.

Viridor also consults with large manufacturers and supermarkets, to assist in the development of their products and services, for improved recycling in the future.

As seen on BBC1’s The One Show:

The collaboration with Viridor and the Co-Op is a potential breakthrough in tackling the global black plastic problem. Bringing together all the main parties for the first time, from us as a technology innovator, to the Co-Op as a retailer, and Viridor as the recycler is momentous. I’m confident that together we have found a technology solution to end these trays filling up landfills.
