We accept a wide range of recyclable plastics including HDPE, PVC, PP, LDPE, ABS, and HIPS. We do not accept PET, although the closures on PET bottles are often made from HDPE or PP and can be recycled. If you are unsure about your plastic type, send us photos and our team will identify it for you.
Yes. We collect from the greater Port Elizabeth area. You can also drop off your plastic at our recycling facility if that is easier for your business.
Once we assess your material through photos or a site visit, we provide fair, market related pricing based on the plastic type, cleanliness, and quantity. No hidden costs. No guesswork.
Contact us, send photos, or request a site visit. After assessment and pricing, we collect or receive your material. Every load is weighed on certified scales, cleaned, sorted, safely stored, and processed with strict quality control. Payments are made weekly to all suppliers.
We sort everything carefully, but heavily contaminated or oil soaked material cannot be recycled and will be rejected. Clean, single type plastics produce the best value for you.
We manually sort every load, remove non plastic parts, test each plastic type, clean and prepare the material, use dedicated granulators for each type, and clean equipment between batches. Every batch is also recorded and tracked.
Yes. All suppliers complete a supplier declaration form. New suppliers have a two week verification period before we process their material to ensure ethical sourcing and full traceability.
It protects your business and our business from risk, ensures every load is legally obtained, and strengthens South Africa’s circular economy through responsible recycling.
