Recycled Plastics

Recycled Plastics is a specialist UK plastic recycling provider, delivering sustainable and cost‑effective solutions to organisations seeking responsible ways to manage PVC and industrial plastic waste. Established in 1990, the company began as a dedicated service for UKAP customers, enabling scrap PVC to be returned directly into the extrusion process. This early commitment to closed‑loop recycling laid the foundations for a business built on resource efficiency, material recovery and long‑term environmental responsibility.

In 2006, Recycled Plastics was acquired by Vink UK Ltd, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of plastic sheet, rod and tube. As the dedicated recycling division of Vink UK Ltd, we now process an expanded range of materials to support the needs of the Vink network and its customers. Being part of the Vink Group provides a consistent supply of high‑quality offcuts that allow us to maintain zero‑contamination recycling streams, ensuring recycled materials can be confidently returned into production environments.

Operating from our site in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, we support customers across the UK through the nationwide network of Vink UK Ltd branches. Our service focuses on efficient collection, transparent processing and high‑quality output. We work closely with Milbrooke Motors, a trusted local haulier, to ensure reliable collections and deliveries that meet the needs of suppliers and customers alike. Whether providing regular collections or one‑off clearances, we tailor our service to each organisation’s waste handling requirements.

Our recycling capabilities include a bank of heavy‑duty granulators used to reprocess different materials into clean, uniform granulate ready for extrusion or further production use. Granulation ensures waste plastics can quickly re‑enter the manufacturing cycle, reducing the environmental impact of virgin material production. For plastics that cannot be granulated or sold within the UK, we operate efficient baling processes. Baled materials are prepared for export, making transportation cost‑effective while still ensuring responsible, traceable recycling outcomes.

Recycled Plastics operates with full certification from the Environmental Agency, confirming our exemption from standard regulations due to the fact that we do not landfill materials. This commitment to landfill avoidance is central to our company ethos. By providing a recycling‑only process, we help businesses reduce waste, lower disposal costs and strengthen their environmental credentials. Our responsible recycling methods support organisations aiming to improve sustainability performance and demonstrate compliance with modern environmental expectations.

Over the years, we have built strong relationships with suppliers, customers and partners who rely on our honesty, reliability and transparent service. Testimonials regularly highlight our punctual collections, accurate weight reporting and our willingness to take on additional materials previously thought to be non‑recyclable. These long‑standing partnerships reflect our focus on delivering practical, trustworthy recycling solutions that genuinely support the needs of modern industry.

Today, Recycled Plastics continues to lead in specialist PVC and industrial plastic recycling, offering efficient material handling, contamination‑free processing and a complete service supported by the nationwide reach of Vink UK Ltd. With more than three decades of experience and a firm commitment to environmental responsibility, we remain dedicated to helping businesses recycle more effectively and return valuable material back into productive use.
