We want to recycle your plastic waste Increasing the use of recycled products has an enormous impact on the environment; independent studies show that products made from recycled rather than virgin polythene results in the following environmental benefits: Reduction of energy consumption by two thirds. Production of only one – third of the sulphur dioxide and half of the nitrous oxide. Reduction of water usage by 90%. It is estimated that 1.8 tonnes of oil are saved for every tonne of recycled polythene produced*. We live in an increasing throwaway society. By using more recycled products the recycling loop is closed through the creation of demand for the materials recovered through collection schemes. bpi.recycled products have an enviable reputation as the leader in the field of polyethylene recycling. We are the largest recycler in Europe with the ability to recycle in excess of 70,000 tonnes each year across our Environment Agency Accredited Sites. A number of our sites are accredited to international standards, ISO 9001 Quality Management System and ISO 14001 Environment Management System. Resulting from the increasing need for sustainability within our economy the environmental benefits of recycling plastic are becoming more widely recognised. Recycling plastic keeps reusable material in the economy, diverts waste from landfill and conserves resources.
