Loose or baled plastics
If you produce clean and baled plastics we can offer the best market rebates and if you don’t currently bale we can help you to get set up.
However, MYGroup doesn’t believe in simply wanting the best streams, the cleanest, the easiest to handle; we’re here to provide a solution for all of your plastic streams.
Once readily recyclable, some plastics have now become the most problematic waste stream for businesses – and the most talked about. Due to changes in legislation in overseas plastics end markets, there has been a real slump in the profits to be made by those specialising in recycling for ‘quick wins’ by simply shifting the problem to another country, one with less stringent waste regulation. The discovery of millions of tonnes of plastic making its way into our environment, oceans and even food sources via these unregulated routes has really put the spotlight on businesses and stricter plastic waste regulations have now been introduced.
The way we look at plastic has changed forever and passing the problem on is no longer an option; this shift in culture around plastic recycling means that for some plastic streams there is less incentive or ability to handle them, leaving uncertainty and lack of legitimate end routes.
True to our ethos, MYGroup never shies away from problematic waste streams – we have a dedicated plastic processing facility to handle all types of plastic wastes including those difficult, contaminated and hazardous streams – we have invested into new technology offering a true end use for your plastics, right here in the UK.

03 – V/PVC (Polyvinylchloride) e.g. food wrap, signs.
04 – LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) e.g. bottles, bags, food wrap.
05 – PP (Polypropylene) e.g. food trays, films, ketchup bottles.
06 – PS (Polystyrene) e.g. packaging, egg cartons, yoghurt pots.

Closed-loop plastic recycling
ReFactory applies decades of knowledge across the wider MYGroup ecosystem to transform waste plastics we collect and process into new, market-ready products. This closed-loop approach keeps plastics circulating within our own system, reducing reliance on virgin materials and supporting long-term, sustainable use.
