About reprocessors
There are a number of UK reprocessors, as well as agents who buy and sell plastic bottles.
About 75% of the plastic bottles collected in the UK are exported to Europe and Asia (mainly as mixed bales) with the remaining proportion sold into existing UK recyclers.
Companies that have expressed an interest in purchasing post consumer plastic bottles can be identified via a free 'reprocessor locator' on the RecyclePlastic website.
The Environment Agency can supply a list of exporters accredited under the packaging regulations.
