How Commercial Plastic Recycling Supports Sustainability
Why Plastic Recycling Matters for Businesses
With sustainability now a core focus for businesses across the UK, plastic recycling is more than just a good practice – it’s a commercial imperative. The right recycling strategy can reduce your carbon footprint, cut waste disposal costs, and meet increasing regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
At Regenthill, we help companies across sectors implement smart, scalable solutions for commercial plastic recycling. Our approach combines technical expertise with practical service delivery, helping clients meet sustainability goals without compromising efficiency.
What We Recycle
Commercial operations often generate significant volumes of plastic waste. Regenthill processes all seven standard plastic types, with a special focus on the most common and commercially valuable grades:
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) – milk containers, detergent bottles
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) – plastic bags, pallet wrap, shrink wrap
PP (Polypropylene) – packaging films, yoghurt pots, bottle caps
PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) – water bottles, food containers
PVC – pipes, fittings, trays (accepted in specialist cases)
EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) – used for insulation and packaging
Mixed plastics – processed where appropriate through approved channels
We specialise in high-volume plastic waste management for manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and construction clients across the UK.
Our Approach to Commercial Plastic Recycling
Material Segregation is Key
One of the most important factors in plastic recycling is keeping materials clean and separated. Contamination, such as food residue or mixing incompatible plastics, reduces recycling efficiency and can result in disposal charges.
Regenthill works closely with clients to improve segregation at the source. We provide on-site assessments, recommend bin systems, and train teams to reduce contamination rates and increase recovery.
Reliable Collections and Transparent Logistics
Our in-house logistics team ensures timely collection of plastic materials, whether you need scheduled pickups or flexible on-demand services. All collections are tracked and auditable, giving your business complete transparency.
Rebates for Eligible Plastic Waste
Depending on material type, condition, and quantity, your business may qualify for rebates. We help clients understand the market value of recyclable plastics and maximise returns where possible.
Environmental Benefits of Plastic Recycling
Recycling plastic isn’t just good for your business, it’s essential for the planet. Here’s why:
Cuts down on virgin plastic use – reducing extraction and energy use
Lowers greenhouse gas emissions – particularly from production and incineration
Supports the circular economy – keeping valuable materials in use
Reduces landfill impact – freeing up space and avoiding long-term pollution
At Regenthill, we track every tonne of plastic we process and report on your environmental impact as part of your sustainability reporting.
Common Challenges – and How We Solve Them
Contaminated Loads
Mixed or dirty plastic waste is a common issue. We solve this with practical on-site solutions – such as dedicated bins, clearer signage, and staff training to boost correct disposal.
Complex Waste Streams
Manufacturing sites or logistics centres often deal with multiple materials and high turnover. Our total waste management service brings order to complex operations by consolidating all waste streams under one provider. [Link to Why Total Waste Management Matters]
