Corflute® Recycling Program

All Corflute® products are designed to be used again and again. But at the end of your products life, or if you have post-industrial waste to recycle (offcuts from production fabrication for example), a reminder that every sheet of Corflute® is invited to be brought back. We supply industrial size recycling bins called Corpaks® to our clients and distribution partners.

We process and recycle every kilogram of plastic we receive on site. That means that we do not export anything! All of the processed material returned to us has a use within Corex Plastics. In the rare occasion that Corex Plastics do not have a use to suit the recycled polymer, we will only then sell to local plastic manufacturers that make products that could be sent back to us for recycling.

What is Corflute®?

Corflute® is a twin wall 100% recyclable polypropylene (PP) sheet product, commonly chosen for its’ strength, durability and environmental credentials. Corflute® is used across the signage, packaging, material handling and building industries.

Corflute® products are designed to be reused again and again.

Corex Recycling

When your Corflute® products are ready to retire or if you have post-industrial waste you want to return, Corex Recycling can recycle and reuse them.

We take back a range of other plastics for recycling as well. If you would like plastic or Corflute® recycled, contact us and we will provide a recycling solution that suits your location and product.

Our Corex Recycling facility works alongside the factory that produces Corflute®.

Above: When you replace 1kg of virgin polypropylene with 1kg of recycled polypropylene sheet you reduce CO2 emissions by 97%.

What happens to the plastic that’s brought back to Corex Recycling?

We process and recycle every kilogram of plastic we receive on site. That means that we do not export anything! All of the processed material returned to us have a use within Corex Plastics. In the rare occasion that Corex Plastics do not have a use to suit the recycled polymer, we will only then sell to local plastic manufactures that make products that could be sent back to us for recycling.

What’s the cost to you?

There is no charge for processing and recycling compatible plastic delivered to our site.
