Plastic Sorting & Processing

Our manual and mechanical sorting operations separate polymers by type (PET, HDPE, PP, PS, LDPE) and colour grade. Advanced shredding, washing, and granulation equipment produces clean flake or regrind ready for remanufacturing.

Processing Capabilities:

  • Manual contamination removal and sorting
  • Optical polymer identification
  • Shredding to 8-12mm flake size
  • Hot wash cycles with water recycling
  • Density separation for multi-layer materials
  • Final granulation to customer specifications

All processing water is recycled on-site through our closed-loop system, minimizing environmental impact. Quality control testing ensures consistent polymer purity and contamination levels below 2%.

Accepted Materials: Packaging films, bottles, containers, crates, pipes, automotive plastics, and agricultural waste (non-hazardous only).

We supply recycled plastic flake, granules, and regrind to manufacturers, injection moulders, and compounders across the UK. All materials come with comprehensive quality certificates and full traceability documentation from source collection.

  • Mixed PP flake (automotive grade) £165.00 per tonne

"As a small manufacturer, we struggled to find a recycler that would take our mixed plastic packaging waste. MIKOLAJ KRZYSZTOF REC were happy to help, even with our relatively low tonnage. Their transparent pricing and reliable collection schedule has been essential for our environmental commitments."
