Knowledge

All the products we make are manufactured with recyclable thermoplastic.  Where possible we add the SPI (Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc) Recycling Codes to help identify the material used in the product. This helps the consumer to recycle our products in the correct recycling area of say their local council, recycling area or collection scheme. A list of the codes are below with the products we manufacture listed next to them. 

We use closed loop recycling within our manufacturing process including typically 10% regrind within production made up of tops and tails (from our extrusion blow moulding process for bottles), sprues & runners (from our injection moulding process) and more if we can to reduce any waste. 

Please see specific product data listen on this site for each items specific material.
