Plastic Recycling

A reliable plastic recycling service from Wayst is the easiest and efficient way of disposing of all of your recyclable plastics in your home or workplace.

If you have the time to separate your plastics yourself, we have all of the necessary information to help you do this responsibly readily available on our platform. The Resin Identification Code, or RIC, was created in 1988 to identify different types of plastics and how they can be recycled and disposed of. Some of the most commonly recycled plastics we can help you with include drinks bottles and cups, and even more rigid plastics like tubes and pipes - even plastics in your electronic devices like a laptop may be recycled when properly segregated into individual streams of waste. Some examples of non-recyclable plastics include polystyrene food containers, plastic utensils, and nylon-based clothing.

We offer a versatile range of sustainable plastic recycling solutions so as to cover all of your bases. For a cost-effective but more convenient solution, our plastic recycling specialists can even collect your plastic waste and transport it to a certified treatment facility where recyclable plastics in your waste can be separated on your behalf.

We have over a decade of experience in plastic recycling services, so we know how important the legislation is and we know what to look for when hiring compliant plastic recycling service providers. Recyclable plastics come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, so we can guarantee our vetted recycling partners are able to meet any kind of requirements in the professional and safe collection of your plastics. They use the most up-to-date safety equipment and follow comprehensive health and safety protocols ensuring you will be safe throughout the collection whilst being in full compliance with legislation from start to finish of the process. If you would like our trusted plastic recycling partners to separate your recyclable plastics for you, they have the expertise necessary to do so - they use innovative optical technology to categorise plastics by colour and type whilst removing all contaminants that may be present like wood, rubber, metal. They will also de-dust and sieve through any soiled or dirty plastics mixed in with your plastic waste.

Our chosen plastic recycling partners will then securely transport your plastic waste for recycling to a trusted recycling centre where a range of reliable and modern methods are used to make sure your plastics are efficiently recycled. These processes involve shredding, washing, melting, and pelletizing the recyclable plastic for later reuse in new products, which is good for both the economy and society and ultimately reduces pollution by reducing the need to create new plastic compounds from scratch. In choosing Wayst for your plastic recycling needs, you will be having a positive impact on the environment whilst creating many benefits for society and our economy.

There are serious risks associated with plastic recycling that must be carefully considered when choosing an authorised company to carry out the process on your behalf. These risks lie both in recycled plastics and the manufacturing of new plastics, so it is important to choose a reliable company that is qualified to mitigate these risks. When plastic is melted down in the recycling process, volatile organic compounds and fumes are produced that can present very serious health threats to the people that come in contact with the recycling plastics both during and after the process when not done properly and safely. Plastic resin, which is part of the manufacturing and recycling process - and comes from petroleum - can contaminate foods stored in recycled plastic containers for example. The level of exposure to harmful chemicals is always dependent on the type of plastic and other factors like temperature and the age of the plastic that was recycled - no matter the level of exposure, however, the health risks are always serious and must be mitigated by choosing a qualified service provider.

The same volatile organic compounds that can cause serious health issues are also serious potential environmental threats, where the harmful fumes created from melting down plastics can harm animal and plant life nearby. Similarly, the heat needed to melt plastic also generates dangerous amounts of carbon emissions which are a primary contributor to global warming. With unrecyclable plastics or plastics contaminated with food waste or debris, unauthorised waste carriers may discard it improperly via fly-tipping as well, causing further damage to the environment. If your plastic waste is fly-tipped and found or improperly disposed of, you could be liable to large fines or potentially even convictions. In choosing the reliable and compliant plastic specialists at Wayst, you will have the peace of mind knowing your plastics are being properly disposed of whilst having a positive impact on the environment and keeping everyone involved safe.
