| “Recyclable waste
plastic awaiting processing” |
ECA Plastics’ expertise is in collecting for recycling Polyethylene
film, (sometimes described as PE or LDPE or HDPE.) However we
have successfully processed batches of Polypropylene film and moulded
food containers and baled PETE bottles
ECAP accepts imperfect waste plastic for recycling. That is waste consumer
material rather than only post production waste generated by manufacturers.
However there are practical and legal limitations on the form of material
we can accept.
Your waste should not contain food, or hazardous materials, e.g. broken
glass or chemicals. It should be dry. Paper contamination is acceptable
and we accept poorly sorted material containing and stray polymers
and occasional pieces of cardboard. However the degree of contamination
dictates its value. Thus we inspect every source of supply individually.
Our declared interest is in contracting to collect recurrent regular
supplies.
The material must be baled rather than loose bales weighing between
100 and 500 kilos. We can advise on the appropriate form of baling
if that is helpful.
In order to offer a free of charge service you must provide the means
of loading our vehicles with either a forklift or from a loading bay.
The minimum quantity of material we will collect free of charge is
1 tonne within the M25 area and elsewhere in the UK, 5 tonnes.
