ReWorked is an independent company to the Council.
Reworked can provide recycling services for ‘hard to recycle’ waste plastic within your home. Fill with any items that aren’t eligible for your local recycling services or recycling bin & send it back to ReWorked. The ideal zero waste solution, to avoid unnecessary landfill usage.
The recycling process
Once collected, the boxes are held for a minimum 72hr quarantine period. Once inspected, the box is recycled to a new packaging media & the contents are pre-shredded. The plastic material, once shredded, is sent to our blending area where it is combined with a mixture of polymers from ocean cleans, verge cleans, food and cosmetic wastes. Lastly, the materials are bonded into a board at high temperature
