Depacking
High capacity recovery on packaged goodsPackaged goods for recycling? No problem
We run a range of equipment for depackaging across our sites, as the sheer variety of packaging requires different methods to ensure the maximum amount of recovery of all fractions. Our systems are designed to allow us to handle bulk product and highly contaminated materials with a high demand throughput, right down to small one-off items.
Our depackaging services include, but are not limited to:
Foods & Drinks
Tinned goods
Animal feeds
Bread & Confectionary
Cosmetics & Home Care Products
Redundant stock
Hazardous Waste
Hazardous consumer/retail goods
Vendor returns
OTC medicines
Damaged stock
The depacking systems also act as the first stage of secure/confidential destruction, which is part of our BSI commitment. This ensures not only full brand protection, but maximum recovery of both packaging and product for onward recycling.
Capacity across our sites for depacking is a combined 500 tons or 1,000 pallets per day; our Maltings site has the largest bulk capacity to allow fast movement and processing of emergency work our clients may need us to do on demand.
We can also offer reporting on all items recovered and removed through our depacking services.
Our commitment is to find value in as much of the product as possible; our depacking systems and variety are unrivalled in the industry.
