Closing the loop
Over the past 20 years we have seen a huge increase in demand for recycled materials or virgin materials with bio-degrading additives. We now have many historic projects which have been converted over to these environmentally friendly solutions and if deemed suitable it has now become our first suggestion for new projects.
In 2002 we annually purchased 1 ton of recycled polypropylene for a specific customers project. We now purchase 310t of recycled Polypropylene (rPP) and 80t of recycled ABS (rABS) per year mainly sourced from end-of-life vehicles. We have seen the quality of the recycled resins dramatically improve in this time and we have worked closely with our preferred supplier on improving the quality even further by helping them with moulding trials of new grades or formulations. We are constantly adding new resins to the ones we have historically bought; we now regularly use rHIPS, rHDPE and rPA6 albeit in lower volumes.
This change in the use of plastic to become more of a circular process has meant our business has changed from buying less than 1% recycled material in 2002 to around 73% in 2021.
