Stuart Foster, Chief Executive of plastic recycling organisation Recoup, agreed that getting the quality right was important and called for the development of more UK end markets for material.


He said: “Our overriding view is that irrespective of where this stuff ends up it needs to be of a high quality and there needs to be market demand. If we are serious about the circular economy we need to look at developing more infrastructure to handle it here in the UK.”


Commenting on the skip hire sector in particular, he said: “A lot of the products in this sector are not just one type of plastic. T ere are markets for that material but there is not always the justifi cation to spend the resource to get the value out again. Construction companies need to be helping skip companies to handle their waste. If waste is clean and kept separately it can have a value. T ere is a good market for it.”


Mr Foster called for ‘proactive’ thinking as demonstrated by Newton Waterproofi ng, a supplier of waterproofi ng membranes, which set up its own recycling system, showing evidence of what can be done.


He explained: “T is is about clever waste management at the front end, so it doesn’t all end up in the same skip making it diffi cult to recover.”


FUTURE


Looking to the future, Mr Foster said he still believed exports would have an important role to play for recovered plastics, commenting: “Material is still going to countries like those in Eastern Europe and Malaysia and that will continue.”


Mr Ellin was also more optimistic looking forward, he said: “I think the market will improve. demand will increase once everything settles down.”
