Prepare for the questions
we’ll ask you

What material do you have available?

Take a look at the wide range of material we buy.

Do you have any photographs?

Seeing your material upfront allows us to quickly assess which markets would be interested. The more options, the more demand and better price you can expect to offered.

How much material do you have available?

The more material we buy, the better the price. We usually only collect when you have more than 5 metric tonnes of plastic waste – there is no maximum limit. For lower volumes of waste we will always try to connect you to people within the industry who can help.

Is your material baled?

We prefer to collect baled (rather than loose) material. We can help you to find the right baler for your business.

Can you load containers?

You need access to a ramp to load a container. Being able to load a container means we can get more options for where to sell the material, and so a better price. If you can’t load a container we will use a curtain sider instead and sell to our UK and European customers.

Where is your material stored?

Storing material indoors, where it’s protected from bad weather, is ideal. It can increase the price offered as the quality is usually better.

Is the material ready to be collected?

We’d like to come and see your material when it’s 70%+ ready. This is the ideal time to take lots of photos and samples, which we use to get the best price from our customers across the globe.

How often is this material usually available?

We reward loyalty for regular collections – giving you a better price. If we’ve not worked with you before, we usually run some trials to make sure everyone is happy first.
