Plastic recycling and disposal
We provide plastic recycling throughout the North East and UK
J&B Recycling can recover and recycle a variety of plastics including films, bags, plastic bottles, plastic packaging, UPVc frames and doors, and a variety of other hard plastics such as HDPE, PP, and ABS. These can come from a variety of sources including retail, warehousing, plastic parts manufacturers and Local Authority kerbside and bringbank schemes.
A significant amount of the plastic food packaging that J&B Recycling recover is reprocessed back into food-grade plastic materials. Whilst in the industrial and commercial sector, off-cuts are recycled from plastics factories and the manufacturing sector while plastic film used to wrap goods is collected. Once J&B have recovered, sorted and or baled the plastics they are then sent to reprocessors for further sorting, shredding, washing, melting and pelletising, or flaking or so that they can remoulded into new products.
