Bright Green Plastics

In a world full of waste, we’re making a difference to the way plastic is recycled.

Using our expert knowledge and passion for recycling, we work hard to reduce the degradation of our planet by turning post-consumer materials into recycled pellets and compounds. These can be used for a whole range of practical applications.

Operating the latest technologies in addition to using our unique BrightFusion™ additive, we improve the properties of recycled consumer plastic. Ultimately, it ends up similar to virgin polymers.

Our Castleford (UK) plastic recycling facility supplies up to 40k tonnes of recycled plastic materials a year. We supply to a range of industries including construction, packaging, automotive and horticulture.

Bright Green started life back in 1992, where we were a subsidiary of the LINPAC Group Ltd. In 2020, the Bright Green brand was officially born. Based in Castleford in West Yorkshire, our state-of-the-art site encompasses our material recovery facility, wash line and production line with extruders.

And we’ve got big plans for the years ahead. Throughout 2020, we’ll be executing ambitious investment and expansion programmes. It’s all to increase our capacity, with the aim of reaching 40,000 TPA (up from 30,000) by the end of the year.

We’re already proud to be industry leaders when it comes to plastic recycling, but there’s always more we can do. After all, there’s a world of plastic out there.

What We Do

At Bright Green, we’re proud to contribute to the circular economy with our innovative plastic scrap and waste solutions. We do this using a world-class recycling process, which turns recycled plastic back into a raw material for producers. We recycle plastic scrap and supply a range of recycled plastics to both consumer and commercial customers. The main materials we handle include:

• PP – Pots, trays, tubs, paint pots, food buckets, storage boxes.
• HDPE – Household bottles, shampoo, bleach, window cleaner, wheelie bins, water pipes, industrial ducting.

From this plastic scrap and waste, we use our state-of-the-art manufacturing process to transform the material into recycled compounds.

Where appropriate, our unique BrightFusion™ engineered mineral additive can be added. This ensures that the recycled polymers can be used in engineered applications.

All products are designed for specifically targeted applications. This means that the material we recycle will always be highly useful for our customers.

We also do custom compounding against an internally defined, controlled specification. In some cases, we can even work to an agreed customer specification. The compounds are suitable for a number of industries, including construction, packaging, automotive and horticulture.
