Environmental Benefits of Plastic Recycling For Businesses
UK businesses and organisations can become more sustainable by incorporating plastic recycling into their waste handling procedures. This simple act of compressing plastic packaging into bales or condensing within a commercial bin reduces waste volume which makes it more economical to both transport and recycle.

Understandably, a lot of confusion exists about what types of plastic can be recycled, however, for businesses help is at hand with QCR's Free Plastic Waste Audit. This quick, no obligation meeting with one of our experts at your bin store can help you identify which types of plastic waste can be compacted and recycled.
