Recycled plastic becomes storage bins
In January the Chinese banned all imported plastic for recycling, presenting the UK with a huge problem on what to do with all the extra recycled plastic sat in recycling centres across Britain.
PlasticBoxShop, through recent improvements in infrared sorting technologies, and working directly with reprocessing centres, have succeeded in integrating this household plastic waste into a new line of storage products.
Gary Lyons, managing director and founder of Plastic Box Shop, said: "Other plastic box retailers – including ourselves have always made products from post-industrial waste, but no other company in the UK has ever produced storage products from post-consumer waste. Our sister company What More UK struggled at first to source regrind material made from recycled post-consumer waste. However, after working closely with a plastic recycling company to get the material to the right quality, we have managed to not only start producing boxes made from at least 95% waste but make a box that is extremely durable."
