| What materials can be recycled? | ![]() |
All plastics packaging material like pallet cover, stretchfilm, polybags, pp woven bags, and other polythene waste are all suitable for baling to be recycled at Chase Plastics. Some plastics might not be suitable for our process but we can advise you on how best to deal with it, in some instances we can take this material too and with our knowledge of the market find a suitable outlet for it. Remember mixing your plastics can greatly reduce their value.
Cardboard:
Where there is plastic there is usually cardboard too, so if you want a single
waste management solution we can take your baled cardboard too.
What is my plastic waste worth?
All prices for plastic and cardboard fluctuate according to market conditions.
Below is a table to indicate the kind of prices
