Plastics recycled

News

British Polythene Industries (BPI) has acquired the plastics washing and recycling equipment previously operated by Integrated Polymers and Evolution Polymers in Wales.

British Polythene Industries (BPI) has acquired the plastics washing and recycling equipment previously operated by Integrated Polymers and Evolution Polymers on the Capital Valley Industrial Estate in Rhymney, South Wales.

The Integrated plant was initially installed in late 2005 to recycle agricultural, packaging and industrial waste plastics. The operation however was not viable and the company went into liquidation in March this year.

BPI has not bought Integrated Polymers as a going-concern but has acquired its equipment only. The company plans a major investment to upgrade the plant to enable it to process waste farm plastics at more viable outputs and will manage the enhanced operation from the existing unit on the Capital Valley Industrial Estate.

In addition to the greater focus on recycling used plastic in recent years, the implementation of the Agricultural Waste Regulations in 2006 has created a demand for dedicated farm plastics recycling facilities in the UK.
