Material Strategy
Casepak’s objective is to have a balanced materials marketing risk strategy. We seek to maximise the values obtained for commodities at the same time as securing supply outlets that are sustainable and fully traceable. To achieve this we:
- ensure material end product always conforms to reprocessor quality standards
- have a close understanding of market dynamics in order to obtain the best possible price
- foster partnerships wherever possible
- prioritise ‘Closed Loop’ recycling over other forms of recycling
- ensure material is shipped in accordance with national and international legislation (e.g. Transfrontier Shipment Regulations)
- ensure reprocessors can supply traceability information
- support home markets where price/value is competitive
Specific Materials
- Recovered Paper is marketed to paper mills within the UK and across Europe and Asia.
- Plastic grades are marketed to reprocessors, mainly within the UK. Some materials (e.g. plastic film) are exported to Asia.
- Aluminium Cans are marketed within the UK.
- Steel Cans and Light Ferrous Scrap are marketed to reprocessors within the UK and across Europe.
- Glass is marketed to reprocessors and aggregate companies within the UK.
- Residual Waste is disposed of to landfill and energy recovery outlets, the latter being the preferred disposal route.
