CK Polymers Ltd are experts in the field of plastic recycling and have facilities and resources across the UK. We provide a range of plastic waste management and recycling services for all plastic types.

To aid with polymer identification for plastic recycling purposes, many plastic product manufacturers have taken to marking their products with a plastics identifcation marking system, but this only covers the major plastic groups which are currently being recycled. Many other plastics types are classed as "Others" in the system.

Below is a more detailed list of those other polymers types. These are all thermoplastics or thermoplastic rubbers and as such can be recycled. If you need assistance in identifying any plastic waste that you may have for disposal / recyling or just want to know what we are prepared to pay for your surplus materials then please contact us now and we will be more than happy to help.
