Packaging Recycling

Packaging has become one of our most popular services in recent years, with more and more businesses looking to make their waste management more responsible. There are two main recycling areas that we can help with.


  • Cardboard Packaging Recycling: We can recycle the vast majority of cardboard and paper packaging your business generates. This makes it possible for you to deal with this waste responsibly and sustainably.


  • Plastic Packaging Recycling: Plastics can be harder to recycle than other materials, but we have the facilities to handle a wide range of different plastics. This includes those that are most commonly used for packaging, including examples like PET.


Having your packaging recycled is a great way to limit the environmental impact of your business. Not only will this ensure that you are operating in a way that is good for the environment, but it will also mean that you can have all of your waste managed in a way that is convenient to your business.

What is Packaging Waste?

Packaging waste comes in many different forms, with countless materials being used for it. Some of these materials are recyclable, though others will need to be dealt with in other ways. Here at Materials Recovery, we always work hard to recycle as much of the packaging waste we collect as possible. Packaging waste will usually be made from the following materials.


  • Cardboard/Paper Packaging: Cardboard is one of the most common packaging materials used in the modern world. While this means that trees are being cut down, it also means that companies are using materials that can be recycled for their packaging.


  • Plastic Packaging: Plastic packaging recycling can be more challenging than recycling materials like cardboard, but Materials Recovery can provide this service and enable you to deal with plastic packaging waste responsibly.


  • Polystyrene Packaging: Polystyrene is incredibly difficult to recycle, and most packaging recycling companies won’t be able to deal with this material properly. This makes it well worth avoiding polystyrene packaging as much as possible.


Plastic Food Packaging Recycling

When it comes to packaging recycling, plastic food packaging will be one of the most recycled products. Unfortunately, most of the foods that we eat come in some sort of plastic food packaging, therefore it's extremely important to recycle as much of this as possible so that we can become more environmentally friendly.


Materials Recovery plastic food packaging recycling services include collecting and transporting all types of plastic food packaging to the nearest suitable facility. Our service is ideal for supermarkets, schools, offices, and restaurants.

  • What Packaging is Recyclable?

    Most types of paper packaging can be recycled, including cardboard, moulded pulp, corrugated cardboard, tissue paper, and wrapping paper. Most types of plastic packaging are also recyclable.

  • What is the plastic food packaging recycling process?

    The process of recycling plastic food packaging begins by sorting the different types of plastics. The types of plastic are then cleaned and shredded into small pieces. The small pieces are melted and formed into new products.

  • What are the benefits of recycling packaging?

    The benefits of recycling packaging materials include reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills, conserving energy and resources, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
