Recycling Box Schemes
Full-service scalable recycling for plastic wasteWhy is our box system better than the rest?
The trend for returning and sending back waste materials has been steadily gaining in popularity; and with good cause, as our shift from retail-based high street shopping has continued moving to fast-paced home delivery. We’re also seeing a significant increase in delivery/collection vehicles on the road as a result of this. So, why not utilise this system and capacity to return goods to central hubs for reuse, recycling and recovery?
In-house recycling
The utmost and major difference that makes us stand out – we actually do all the recycling in-house, at our recycling hubs across Yorkshire! We’re over 30 years established in the recycling industry and invest heavily in physical recycling, ensuring that your waste is recycled by us – not brokered to others for financial margins and false claims.
Bigger boxes, better options
Our boxes are BIGGER! Bigger is better, so we made sure that our range of three shipping boxes are larger than others offered on the market. This means that they are even cheaper by volume. We also offer much larger pallet box systems of up to 1,000 litres for businesses that have larger waste outputs.
Innovation
Our boxes accept a huge amount of materials, right the way through to being the first to recycle items like Lateral Flow Test (LFT) kits and facemasks. We remove the issues with recycling single-use materials and make it far easier. We also have a hazardous packaging recycling system (direct collection only) so we are far more versatile.
Continued investment
We re-invest back into improvements in recycling infrastructure and people in our local communities, providing green jobs and futures.
Value for money
Even though our process costs are far higher, and our overheads are significantly larger, our boxes are cheaper than many of the others on the market. From public access recycling boxes to brand-sponsored take back schemes (free for public use) the costs are lower to enable the schemes.
End-to-end service
We handle the whole process from collection to processing to final product design and manufacture, in-house. We do not ship out or broker materials to others. It’s a fully transparent, live system that can be visited at any time. We design, create and finish beautiful products made from the plastic we recycle – and we’re pretty proud of them!
Transparency
You can visit the site and watch your waste get recycled whilst having a coffee! Where else can you do that?
Carbon conscious
We plant a tree for every single box purchased, whether it’s via our website or by a brand to go in-store. We also recycle all cardboard products used in-house. We’re also investing in zero-emission local collections, and increasing our electric fleet.

What can you put inside your recycling box?

We accept plastic items with metal elements, degraded plastics from litter picks and food packaging with residues left behind. As long as the items are not toxic or dangerous to our operations and staff, we will most likely accept them.
