End Markets - Where the material goes

Environmental legislation and industry good practice is focusing more and more on ensuring that the best possible use is made of materials generated through householder focused recycling campaigns and services. Re-Gen has always sought to be “ahead of the game” in this arena and to this end we were one of the first companies to become involved with and signatories to the Recycling Registration Service Code of Practice (www.rrsuk.org). This independent 3rd party auditing body provides peace of mind and reassurance for local authorities that best practices are being met.

The scheme’s website states its role is:

“... to establish a scheme under which each Member can demonstrate that waste material handled or processed at Registered MRFs and exported out of the UK by a Member or a Broker acting on its behalf:

Is handled or processed at the Registered MRF in accordance with good industry practice in the UK;
Accords with Green List Waste Guidance as verified from time to time by the Auditor operating under the Scheme;
When exported goes to a Recovery Facility that is authorised to operate under applicable domestic legislation, is in general compliance with all applicable domestic environmental and health and safety legislation and is operated to standards broadly equivalent to European Union standards.”

Our membership is listed on the scheme’s website.

Clear UK Focus

The vast majority of our materials are recycled in the UK, though we keep a running relationship with some reprocessors outside the country, which proved invaluable during the 2008/2009 materials market crash.

We utilise a broad range of end markets to ensure availability of outlets and to maximise price. Below is a list of the major UK & Irish reprocessors we deal with on a regular and ongoing basis:

	Aluminium Novellis, Alutrade.

	Steel Corus Metals UK.

	Paper SCA Recycling, Failand Paper, Stirling Fibre, International Recycling, Ashley Paper Sale, Marwin Trading (RoI), Kruger( Disley) Paper Mill.

	Plastics AWS / Monoworld / Valpack, Jayplas, WRC.

	Textiles Aligreen(UK) / Textile Recycling (RoI).

	Batteries/mobile phones/ WEEE Sims / Enva (NI)

	Residual materials We forward all our residual waste for reprocessing into refuse derived fuel which is sent for use in kilns owned by Lagan Cement.

We have also established strong commercial relationships with other international materials re-processors. We are now a licenced broker able to ship directly to China.

Aluminium – Grandly Pacific (Hong Kong)

Paper / Cardboard – Peute Papier (Netherlands)

Plastics – Grandly Pacific (Hong Kong), Kwong Cheong
