The Recycling and Waste Management Exhibition (RWM06) at the NEC in Birmingham will be the official launch pad for Recycling in Action Ltd. No longer an umbrella concept, Recycling in Action has taken on a life of its own and is set to become a key player in providing completely integrated UK-based recycling solutions.
If you’re visiting RWM06 and would like to arrange to meet with one of our team please get in touch. Free tickets for RWM06 can be ordered online at www.rwmexhibition.com
What a difference a year makes…
Recycling in Action’s highlights of the year include:
New headquarters and team expansion
Due to business expansion and the active development of Recycling in Action, we have moved to a new office set amidst 3,000 acres of beautiful Yorkshire parkland.
A new team has also been established, with the recent addition of five new members of staff, which will provide full guidance and direction to new and existing customers, who will also benefit from having one dedicated contact able to coordinate a bespoke recycling solution.
New WEEE and packaging compliance service
In response to market demand, we’ve taken a fresh approach to packaging and WEEE compliance by offering a low cost, online and hassle free solution. We have been approved by the Environment Agency to provide packaging compliance and are gearing up to do the same for WEEE.
This online approach ensures the service is accessible and easy to use. Members can access all resources and submit the required documentation online. This avoids excessive administration, saves time and has clear cost-benefits that are then passed on. To ensure it really is hassle-free, the online service is also underpinned by an experienced team, offering dedicated support and expertise.
Services are clearly targeted and transparently priced. This means members only pay for the services they require and their individual needs are met at the lowest possible cost. The compliance service is supported by in-house UK-based recycling facilities and logistics. Find out more
New plastic waste washing and pelletising recycling plant
Multi-million pound investment has gone in to a new plant that can handle heavily contaminated plastics. This complete plastic waste washing and pelletising recycling plant is based at the Capital Valley site in South Wales.
Complementing existing recycling machinery on site, the new plant accepts plastics in a heavily contaminated state and reprocesses it into a pellet. The resulting recycled material is then fed back into the UK supply chain for remanufacture. Since it’s launch at the start of the year, the plant has recycled over 8,000 tonnes of plastic.

New PRN/PERNcapabilities
The plastics recycling plant has recently been approved by the Environment Agency as an accredited reprocessor of packaging waste. The new BAT washing and extrusions lines are believed to be the only plant capable of handling the more heavily contaminated end of plastic packaging waste i.e. food contaminated films collected by local authorities or fertilizer bags from farmers. We have also been approved as an accredited exporter of packaging materials such as aluminium, steel and plastics for recycling outside the UK.
New WEEE capacity
Building on existing fridge recycling facilities, we are now expanding to handle all ten categories of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This service includes the collection, treatment and recycling of all electrical and electronic equipment. Find out more
New farm waste solution
The new plant is the foundation of a simple and environmentally acceptable solution we’ve established for farmers dealing with contaminated farm plastics nationwide. The FarmPlas Network, brings together regional collection schemes. The collection schemes are independent, regional businesses, many of them set-up by farmers themselves.
All the plastic collected is taken to the recycling plant. Here it is washed of all contamination and recycled into plastic pellets. This recycling technology closes the loop and provides a solution that is truly sustainable. Find out more
