British Recycled Plastic
Our Impact & Our Recycling Process
Every year, the UK generates millions of tonnes of plastic waste, much of which ends up in landfills, oceans, or incinerators, harming the planet for generations. With only a small fraction effectively recycled, it’s clear we need a better way to tackle this growing problem.
At British Recycled Plastic, we’re turning the tide by transforming UK waste plastic into durable, sustainable products that help protect the environment. Find out more about how we are tackling the Uk waste crisis and how our plastic is recycled below:

Read Our Embodied Carbon Report
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint in all of our operations and, as part of this, we need to know what our current position is so that we have measurable information from which we can move forward.
While this is only an interim report, we feel it is necessary to be as transparent as possible and publish the data that we have on the embodied carbon footprint of the products we bring to market. As the first UK company in our sector to do this, we encourage all of our competitor companies to do the same for the benefit of everyone.
We feel confident that we can continue to reduce our emissions and hope to have further information published soon that will reflect some of the ongoing improvements we are making, and those we are urging our supply chain partners to make.
