Plastic Recycling for Food Manufacturers
Plastic packaging is a vital and valuable part of the food manufacturing supply chain and can help reduce the impact food waste has on the environment. By ensuring food stays fresh and on our shelves for longer, plastic plays an important role in reducing food manufacturing’s carbon footprint.
Not only this, but plastic distribution trays and crates safeguard products in transit and ensure they are delivered in a saleable condition, efficiently.
Plastic used in the food production process and distribution still has a value and does not need to be treated as waste. In fact, treating your plastic scrap and redundant stock as the high-value commodity it is can have wider benefits for your business:
> Reclaim valuable space for your business
> End-of-life or redundant stock, such as distribution trays and crates, still hold value
> Work towards a closed loop supply chain
> Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability – meet legislative and consumer demand for recycled content by creating ‘bring back’ scheme with your database

How Vanden provides plastic recycling solutions for food production
Manage end-of-life plastic
We collect redundant stock, end-of-life boxes, buckets, crates, corex, dolavs, film, pallets, pots, trays and tubs.
The material is then taken back to our UK recycling plant to be processed, ready to re-enter the supply chain, helping to create a circular economy. We can even arrange for the recycled plastic to re-enter your own supply chain, helping to facilitate a closed-loop solution.
We offer split load collection
We can collect split loads of multiple polymers in one collection, making it a reliable and efficient process. We process 30 metric tonnes of plastic every day, including ABS, PA, PC, PE, PET, PP, PS and PVC. You can see the full list of plastic that we reprocess and trade here.
Our large fleet of logistics partners means that we can offer fast and reliable collections, often within 48-72 hours.
Fast and accurate reporting
Our weighbridge tickets and accurate reporting mean that you can have confidence you are receiving the right value money for your scrap and can confidently meet auditing and compliance requirements.
