END OF LIFE RECYCLING
TRANSFORMING WASTE MATERIALS INTO NEW PRODUCTS
TRANSFORMING WASTE MATERIALS INTO NEW PRODUCTS
THE REGRIND CENTRE
Plastics are brought to the Regrind Centre at our site in Whittlesey to be sorted and broken down using a range of plastic regrind machinery. This allows us to use more sustainable alternatives to virgin plastics and ensuring that old plastic does not end up in landfill. We regularly use recycled materials from the Regrind Centre to produce our own products, providing alternative to the standard virgin plastic options.
At the Regrind Centre, we process customer products, as well as our own worn or damaged material handling products used in our factories. The facility is capable of processing PP, ABS, PA, TPE, and PBT + PET, and will be expanding to grind other plastics as they become available. We are proud to be able to offer this service, and give a new and sustainable lease of life to old plastics.
Plastics are sorted into different grades and materials
Turned into pellets, made into raw material to be used again
Recycled material is reused in the injection moulded process to create a new product
RECYCLING WITHIN RGE
Our range of Multinest Crates, Universal Display Pallets, and Pallet Collars, all are used within RGE to transport and store stock.
We offer our full range of material handling products made from recycled materials, and all old, worn, or damaged products used within our factories are recycled at the end of their lives, to then be made into new parts or goods, keeping plastic waste out of landfill and taking advantage of the strength, durability and resilience of this long-lasting resource.
WORKING WITH CUSTOMERS
RGE are able to offer a buy back service, designed to provide a solution for the waste of old plastic products or extra stock. The stock is shipped back to RGE to be recycled at our Regrind Centre, creating recycled plastic material which can then be reused in the production of new products or goods parts.
This allows us to create products from more sustainable alternatives to virgin plastics, and in turn, preventing plastics from unnecessarily ending up in landfill.
This service encourages our customers to make use of our growing recycling facility as part of our plastic regeneration division, with the aim of providing a new lease of life to plastics that would otherwise have been needlessly discarded.
Whilst RGE is committed to reducing our own environmental impact, we believe it is crucial that we provide our customers with the opportunity to do the same, pushing for change within the plastics industry and extending the benefits of our continued investment in the Regrind Centre.
