CK Polymers are one of the fastest growing plastic recycling companies in the UK today. We have several plastic recycling facilities and a network of recycling partners across the UK so we can arrange collection of your plastic waste from wherever you are. If you have obligations under the packaging waste directive CK Polymers are accredited for the issue of PRNs.

CK Polymers buy plastic waste for recycling and can also offer recycling processes on a toll processing basis. Below you will find a brief description of our Sorting plastic recycling process.

Plastic scrap or waste comes in all manner of shapes and sizes such as plastic bottles, bottle crates, plastic pallets and car bumpers and a variety of material types. Often these plastic materials are not compatible with each other when it comes to recycling so they have to be identified and separated.

It is also necessary to strip off any extraneous materials such as metal or foam which will hinder the recycling process at a later stage.

It may also be necessary to clean the scrap (particularly if the plastic waste comes from packaging applications such as plastic milk bottles).
