98% of the plastic we take in at Essex Reclamation Ltd is recycled as far as possible.
Any materials not suitable for re-use are recycled via EFW (Energy from Waste).
Our Dedication
We are very committed to the environment and our goal is to significantly reduce the amount of waste which is being sent to landfill.
We achieve this in the following ways:
- Offering a recycling service which facilitates the identification, collection, baling and sale of plastic grades across our large network of customers throughout the UK and further afield
- Continual investment in people and machinery to increase our processing capabilities
- Finding and developing new markets for recycled plastic materials across the world
It is important to note that the value of your plastic depends on various factors, such as grade, volume and location. If you do not know what grade your plastic is, we will work with you to help determine the quality and we will offer competitive rates for your materials, whether it is plastic waste or regrinds.
