About Us

AGYPLAS has been involved in plastics recycling for 10 years across our intercompanies and, contrary to most recycling schemes, we are not a trading company using marketing tools to disguise a simple middleman trading activity: we extrude most of the plastics we buy from the UK after segregating and cleaning them; we then bag these repro pellets and sell them to manufacturers. We know from experience that there is good money in waste plastics ̶̶ all the participants in the recycling chain should benefit from it, not only the so-called “recycler”.

AGYPLAS is present on the UK market and works with local extruders, but also has its own extruding units in Hong Kong and China officially registered as reprocessing plants with the Environment Agency under our ePRN accreditation (see the Contact Us page for more details).

We therefore provide an end-to-end service, and for this to happen, AGYPLAS focuses on following all the developments in Packaging Regulations, not only in order to abide by them but also to help advise our clients accordingly.

Following the recent international events that showed an unfortunately high level of illegal waste exports to China, we realise that more than ever we must work together with our clients to put systems in place allowing transparency and strict adherence to the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations. We own recycling factories in China, and these are continuously upgraded to the strict standards set by the Chinese Government in order to alleviate the current environmental disasters that illegal consumer waste exports have created.

AGYPLAS is constantly looking for new partnerships to make better use of scrap and waste plastics in the UK as an example to the industry.
