What Is Factory Recycling?
What Is Factory Recycling?
Factory recycling refers to the process of collecting, sorting, and reusing or processing waste materials generated during manufacturing operations. It’s a crucial part of sustainable production and regulatory compliance for industrial businesses.
At Regenthill, we provide specialist recycling services for factories across South England – helping clients manage waste effectively, reduce costs, and meet environmental targets.
Common Types of Factory Waste
Manufacturing processes generate a variety of materials that can be recycled:
Cardboard – from packaging, product storage, and raw materials
Plastics – including offcuts, protective films, and containers
Polystyrene (EPS) – often used for protective packaging
Pallets and wood waste – from shipping and storage
Metal scraps – where applicable
We provide the infrastructure, collection, and compliance needed to manage these streams efficiently.
Why Factory Recycling Matters
Reduces disposal costs by diverting recyclables from general waste
Improves sustainability through circular resource use
Supports environmental compliance (e.g. ISO 14001)
Creates cleaner, safer working environments
Enhances reputation among customers and partners
Factory recycling is not just a box-ticking exercise, it’s a practical, measurable part of smarter manufacturing.
