Casepak Materials Recycling Facility
Materials Recycling Facility for dry mixed recyclables
The new Casepak Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) is one of the UK’s most advanced, efficient and flexible plants for the management of dry, mixed recyclable materials. The facility incorporates specialist screens for highly compacted recycled materials and additional optical sorting to ensure maximum diversion of the recovered materials away from landfill.
Ideally located in the Midlands, our facility is conveniently situated near to the M1 and M69 and has the capacity to process 150,000 tonnes of dry, mixed recyclables annually. With one of the largest operating capabilities of any UK MRF, it is ideal for the management of fluctuating waste arisings.
The Casepak MRF can process the following mixed recyclable materials:
- paper - newspapers, magazines, catalogues, telephone directories (including Yellow Pages and other catalogues), envelopes (including window envelopes), computer paper, office paper (white and coloured), junk mail and flyers, shredded paper, greetings cards and other papers including clean paper bags and wrapping paper
- card - cardboard and corrugated boxes, egg boxes, cereal boxes, other display and food packaging, Tetra Pak and juice cartons
- plastic - plastic drinks bottles (all types including milk, water, fizzy drinks, cleaning products and beauty products), plastic food trays and containers (rigid plastic), plastic film and bags (including carrier bags and bubble wrap)
- glass - bottles and jars of all colours
- steel - steel food and drink cans
- aluminium - aluminium food and drink cans, foil, aerosols
Recycling results
Using automated technology and intensive manual quality control, the Materials Recycling Facility will aim to recover more than 95% of the recyclable materials processed. These will then be dispatched to reprocessors for use as a raw material in the production of new items such as:
- newsprint
- office paper
- cardboard boxes
- tissue and hygiene products
- glass packaging
- metal packaging
- plastic packaging
