We have been operating since 2008 and, occasionally, some of our plastic wheelie bins need to be replaced. This can be for many reasons, such as updates to the locks, wheel damage, and just general wear and tear. As you may know, we have zero tolerance for landfill amongst many other environmental commitments. Our bins are no exception to that rule.
When the time comes for our old confidential waste bins to be disposed of, they get sent to a company based in Cambridgeshire called PLASgran.
At PLASgran, the old bins are granulated into 10-12mm chips. The small plastic chips are cleaned and compounded into pellets. These pellets are then recycled, going back into the UK plastic industry, where most go into making new wheelie bins!
