Plastics and rubber
The UK plastics sector has a turnover of around £19 billion and employs over 150,000 people. It is a large and growing industry, yet many companies find the pressures of competing extremely difficult.
Why?
- Raw material prices fluctuate wildly
- Energy prices are rising
- 'Non-green' sector image
- New legislation encouraging greater recycling and reuse, particularly ELV, WEEE and packaging regulations
Tackling waste with recycling is one strategy, however even the most efficient and effective recycling processes will incur costs and use up valuable resources and raw materials.
