Hawkvale Limited was incorporated in 2006 in England as a trading and sourcing arm of Faith Group Company (FGC), one of the largest waste plastics trading and recycling companies in the World. Our main businesses include domestic and international trading of waste plastics, post-industrial plastic scrap recycling, post-consumer plastic scrap recycling, and the relevant processing via our parent group recycling plants or selected recycling partners. Waste plastics handled include LDPE, HDPE, PET, PETG, PP, ABS, Nylon, PS, EPS, PC, as well as specialised engineering plastics.

Our group is one of the largest plastic recyclers in the world, with facilities in USA, Netherlands, Mexico, Argentina, Egypt and Hong Kong. The group's strength is in sourcing, marketing, and recycling networks, with an annual recycling quantity is over 200,000 metric tonnes and annual turnover of over $120,000,000.

The PET materials recyclable by Hawkvale Limited include but are not limited to: PET purge, PET bottle flake, PET bottle fine, PET prime and off-grade pellets, PET floor sweeping pellets, PET fibre waste, PET popcorn and CPM pellets, PET bottle preform scrap etc. The recycled PET materials are used to make staple fibre, non-woven fibre, sheet and film, container, paint etc. PL Plastic Services LLC is one of our sister companies, with a plastic scrap recycling plant and warehouse located in Florence, South Carolina. This facility provides a toll processing service for several main PET manufactures in the USA.

Qingdao Faith Plastics Company Ltd began processing in 1999. The facility handles shredded European PET bottles (bottle shredded into 4 to 8 pieces), PET bottle flakes, purges, film rolls and other recyclable plastics. The annual processing capability is over 40,000 metric tonnes.

In 2005, the group invested in three Wood Plastics Composite (WPC) production lines in Qingdao, China, to make plastic lumber products with recycled PE material. This project reflects the group's aim to provide the most environmentally friendly routes for plastic scrap recycling. We buy extrusion grade HDPE as a raw material for this process, and the group sells plastic lumber deck, and pallets.

Qingdao Rockaway Plastic Sheets Company Ltd. is another sister company of Hawkvale Limited and is located in the Qingdao Free Trade Zone. The main business of this company is to produce PET sheets from PET resins and PET bottle flakes. It covers over 20,000 square metres, providing warehousing and logistic services.

The Ningbo Office is responsible for all the trading activities in Zhejiang Province. PET material and engineering plastics are their core business. They supply over 50,000 tonnes of PET materials annually to the Zhejiang market and export staple fibre, non-woven fibre overseas.

The Shenzhen office is in charge of the import and export business & marketing for the Guangdong and Fujian provinces.

Plastic Recycling – Saving the Environment

Hawkvale operate to the highest environmental standards, guaranteeing and ensuring that all exports comply with the latest UK, European, and Chinese environmental regulations and standards. We are an approved waste carrier and broker, accredited packaging waste exporter, and approved WEEE exporter.

Plastics are used in a wide range of products that we use on a daily basis. Up to 60% of the rubbish found in our dustbins could be recycled, and as much as 50% of waste in the average dustbin could be composted. Plastics convenience is undeniable as it is produced in vast quantities throughout the world.

Manufactured using crude oil, recycling plastic waste is hugely important to limit the depletion of this limited resource. Plastic waste can be found lying on roadsides, hedgerows, beaches etc., and are not bio-degradable. As they do not decompose, they are consequently harming the environment and it is our responsibility to recycle plastic waste accordingly.

Plastic recycling is an excellent method of conserving the environment as well as saving energy; 1 recycled plastic bottle alone could power a 60-watt light bulb for up to 3 hours. The seven types of plastic resins can be recycled and used to make a wide variety of products. PET is recycled into bottles, carpets, clothing, and car parts. HDPE is recycled and used to produce bags, plastic lumber, and agricultural pipes. Recycled LDPE is recycled to manufacture bags, plastic lumber, and compost bins.

Products

In the current day and age, we strive to reduce our carbon footprint and make an impact on saving Mother Earth. At present, the world's annual consumption of plastic materials is nearly 100 million tonnes, compared to that of around 5 million tonnes in the 1950s. Packaging currently represents the largest single sector of plastics use in the UK, accounting for 35% of the UK's plastic consumption. Plastic is the material of choice for nearly half of all packaged goods and consumption is growing about 4% every year in Western Europe, this is the reason why Hawkvale take plastics recycling and plastic scrap trading exceptionally seriously.

There are approximately 50 different types of plastics, with hundreds of different varieties that are all recyclable. The American Society of Plastics developed a standard marking code to aid consumers with identifying and sorting the main types of plastic.

Here at Hawkvale Limited we specialise plastics recycling and trade a broad range of waste plastics including PET recycling, PETG, LDPE, PP, ABS, Nylon, PS, EPS, and PC, specialised engineering plastics and recycled HDPE. Our group takes pride in its ability to provide the most environmentally friendly plastics recycling routes. During 2005, the group invested in three Wood Plastics Composite (WPC) production lines in Qingdao, China, to make plastic lumber products with recycled PE material. We buy extrusion grade HDPE as a raw material for this process, and the group sells plastic lumber deck and pallets.

Our methods and routes for plastics recycling especially PET recycling and polythene recycling will continue to change and be streamlined well into the future.

Environmental Policy

Unlike many other plastic recycling companies, we operate to the highest environmental standards when recycling plastic scrap, ensuring that all exports of recyclable plastics comply with the latest UK, European, and Chinese environmental regulations and standards.

Hawkvale Limited specialises in plastics disposal and inspects and approves all packaging waste prior to shipment to ensure that they comply with the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007 and the European Regulation EC1013/2006.

Plastics disposal destined for China are pre-approved for import by CCIC London (China Certification and Inspection Company), who individually certificate each shipment. This is a legal requirement by the Chinese Government for the legal import of all waste plastics into China.

The majority of recyclable plastic is exported for recycling in one of our sister company recycling plants, or for recycling in an end user plant. The waste plastic materials we export are used to manufacture a range of items from garden furniture to picture frames. We can provide full audit trails for companies which have corporate environmental policies demanding that materials can be traced through to final use unlike many plastic recycling companies.

We can also provide certificates of destruction for waste plastic materials which are subject to copyright or are commercially sensitive.
