Who we are
We are a very small plastic recycling
factory but we aim to have the biggest impact!
We currently run a plastic
recycling club for local householders and businesses who
want to recycle their plastic.
If you would like to
know a little more about
us
If you would like
information about
joining
our plastic recycling club and start recycling your plastic with
us.
We give
Instructions
to all members on how to clean and sort your plastic
What we do
All our club members bring their plastic
to the centre cleaned and dried.
It is then sorted for
granulating. We use a variety of low tech everyday
appliances such as ovens and irons to reprocess it. We then produce flat sheets of recycled
plastic and that provides us with the raw
material to make our unique products.
Courses
We can teach you to teach others,
including schools
