The Confectionery Free Recycling Programme

Recycle all brands of plastic confectionery packaging

Discover Our Recycling Process

Once collected, the plastic confectionery packaging is shredded, washed and then pelletized. These pellets can be used for a number of moulded rigid plastic products like benches, or used as film for products such as rubbish bags.
