Casepak operates a collection and processing facility and a materials recycling facility in the East Midlands, which together process over 450,000 tonnes a year of source segregated and dry mixed recyclables. The company has been in existence since 1973 and is recognised today as one of the UK’s most dynamic recycling companies.
Jacob Smith, Operations Manager at Casepak, said: “We are very pleased to become members of RECOUP and share our knowledge and expertise, while collaborating with others in the sector.
“As a company we are determined to help drive a more circular plastics system and coordinate with other parts of the supply chain to ensure we are sharing best practice to help protect the environment by increasing plastics recycling and reuse. We are looking forward to being active members of RECOUP and proactively supporting its important work.”
