Upon arrival at our dedicated recycling facility all waste plastics are hand sorted by our expert staff into material types ready for reprocessing. Once sorted the raw waste plastics are reduced in size by our shredding and granulating machinery. These machines are capable of processing any size of materials – from ordinary domestic plastic waste to much larger lumps or spoils from industrial /commercial processes.

Cost-effective and environmentally friendly
Compounding
With years of experience in the plastics industry Global Environmental Services understands that you need the very best quality polymer compounds for your injection, blow & extrusion moulding needs. Our compounding service offers you a viable alternative to the use of virgin plastics – including the added benefits of a cheaper, more cost-effective raw material produced from an environmentally sustainable source – recycled waste or scrap plastics.
LDPE wrapping
Low-density polyethene LDPE is a popular material for pallet wrapping, preventing goods from spilling out over the warehouse or truck floor during transport and distribution. LDPE is a significant source of plastic waste that can sometimes end up in a landfill.
HDPE pipes
Manufacturers use HDPE or high-density polyethene plastic to make rigid piping products, thanks to its strength, durability and longevity. HDPE piping, however, does not biodegrade naturally and, like LDPE, often ends up in a landfill.
Polystyrene foam
Polystyrene is a popular packaging material used in both the B2B and B2C sectors. It’s famous for its lightweight and ability to protect products at low cost during distribution. Polystyrene, however, does not break down naturally.
