From Fridges to Plantpots
For over 20 years Aeroplas has been at the forefront of thermoplastic injection moulding for the horticulture, clothing and catering industries. Items include Plant Pots, Coat hangers, Glasses, tumblers, trays and plates. Our success has been achieved through a bespoke specification policy combined with excellent customer service.
The changing environment regarding plastic has always consolidated our use of recycled materials – hence the “Fridge to Plant Pot” reference. Being at the forefront of UK Horticulture’s use of recycled/recyclable Taupe pots and trays, these now represent the vast majority of our production.
Aeroplas operates from a purpose built, 7.2acre site in the West Midlands with over 120,000 sq/ft of production bristling with modern technology and machinery that allows us to have an extensive range of products and be able to react at speed to customer needs. Continuous investment in people and plant, with a fleet of delivery vehicles and a distribution centre in central Europe gives Aeroplas UK Ltd the edge over competitors which is reflected in the repeat business from customers worldwide.

Two waste teams collecting bins from over 116,000 homes across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire have joined forces in a bid to reduce cost. Cambridge City Councils fleet of 27 bin lorries have begun operating from Waterbeach depot, where South Cambridgeshire District Councils waste operations are based.
The management teams for the two councils waste operations came together in August saving over £100,000 a year and with the operations now working out of one depot, further efficiencies will be sought to drive down costs.
Cambridge City Councils waste crews and staff had previously operated from a depot on Mill Road which is earmarked for redevelopment in the future.
The single shared waste management team are now working on integrating the bin collection rounds across the two districts in order to make efficiency savings on fuel and vehicles. It is expected the annual savings from the move to a shared waste service will be around £700,000.
Both Councils already take waste and recycling they collect to the processing centres near the Waterbeach depot.

Fiberight’s HYDRACYCLE™ technology segregates and recovers materials (paper/card, rigid/flexible plastics, metals, and food waste) from mixed residual-waste streams, using water as a separation medium within a closed-loop water-recycling process. The recovered materials are upgraded into high-value market-ready products. The robust process works with mixed household wastes that are typically burnt/buried. Bolt-ons have also been developed to then valorise the recovered resources into higher-value products. For example, rigid and flexible plastics are purified and sorted into polymer fractions for onward manufacturing of products such as damp-proof membranes, fence posts, agglomerates, and pellets.
Fiberight began commercial operation in the UK in April 2023 at their plant in Swansea, Wales. The current input feedstock for the plant is rejects from material recovery facilities (MRFs). This feedstock is typically sent for incineration or landfill with little to no value generation. Fiberight are recovering over 70% of the material resources within this stream.

The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
- Provide innovative, customer-friendly waste management.
- Seek the best environmental options.
- Give value for money to Lincolnshire residents.
- National policy — In December 2018 the Government published its new national waste and resources strategy for England.
- Food waste — The national strategy proposes weekly food waste collections from 2023, in preparation they have been running a trial for food waste collections in South Kesteven to understand the challenges this may bring. They are seeking a sustainable and renewable solution which will be explored over the next few years.
- Plastics — Since the adoption of the Lincolnshire strategy, the world has seen a blaze of interest in plastic waste and how the recycling we collect is handled. Media investigations have challenged waste management practices and raised the profile of accountability and social responsibility.
- Waste crime — The Environment Agency (EA) has an open invitation to LWP meetings providing advice and guidance, the LWP also support the EA in waste crime operations in the county.
- Recycling quality — A separated paper and card collection trial in place from September 2019 with the aim of avoiding any contact with liquids and food, keeping it clean and dry, means they can meet high quality standards of the paper mills who recycle waste paper and card saving vital natural resources. The trial has been a great success and plans are underway to expand collections to more areas in Lincolnshire.
- The wider environment — Driving many miles to collect and dispose of waste increases the carbon footprint for their transport operations so they have worked to optimise routes and are investigating how, in the longer term, they can change to different vehicle fuels to reduce their CO2 emissions.

Morph® is an innovative 100% recycled and recyclable modular construction system which repurposes and reduces plastic waste, encourages long-term investment and supports the circular economy movement.
The idea evolved from concerns about damaging industry behaviours, particularly the throw-away culture in the commercial office furniture and fit-out sectors. Practices widely accepted as the norm, where functional furniture and dilapidations are prematurely discarded to landfill, are having a devastating and long-term impact on the environment and Morph Bricks Ltd wanted to find a solution.
Injection moulded using 100% post consumer recycled ABS plastic, Morph bricks consist of four core components – single brick, double brick, base and top. Lightweight and strong with a uniquely designed male to female connection, the bricks interlock in a staggered brick formation to create multiple designs including walls, desks, tables, video conferencing units, counters, tiered seating and meeting bays. Reusable, every product can be taken apart and rebuilt into a new design. Recyclable, end of life bricks can be recycled into new components without waste.
Complementing the recycled plastic range, we also manufacture Morph Bio bricks made from carbon negative Bio composite material.

As one of the world’s leading food and beverage companies we recognise the significant role we can play in helping to change the way society makes, uses, and disposes of plastics, and we are helping to make sustainable plastics a reality. We’ve made it a business imperative to help build a circular future for packaging and a world where plastics need never become waste.
Across PepsiCo Europe, we plan to eliminate virgin fossil-based plastics in all our crisp and snack bags by 2030. This ambition will apply to our UK brands including Walkers, Doritos, Quavers, Wotsits, Snack a Jacks and Pipers, and will be delivered by using 100% recycled or renewable content in our packets.
While we’ve set ourselves ambitious targets, we recognise that tackling plastic waste is not a challenge any one organisation or country can do alone. That’s why we’re continuing to play a lead role in changing the way everyone uses plastics, through partnerships with like-minded organisations including our work with Wrap on the UK Plastics Pact as well as working with our peers as one of the founding members of the Flexible Plastics Fund.

Polytag is a Welsh-based company that uses two tag formats to help brands communicate better with their customers and fill in data gaps on how packaging is handled after it is sold. The technology used is low-cost and easy to implement.
Polytag uses GS1-compliant QR codes to trace packaging throughout the value chain, and invisible UV tags to count packaging at recycling centres, giving brands live barcode level information on the Polytag Dashboard.
Customers can interact with the printed tag using their smartphone to view recycling information, sustainability stories, and more. The tag can also be used by recycling apps to reward customers for recycling, much like a digital deposit return scheme, thanks to the unique tags preventing fraud and allowing for richer rewards.
Polytag maintains optimised manufacturing processes, using complementary, retrofitted technology. Our seamless app integration is fraud-proof and theft-proof. The tech has been proven to improve recycling rates and provide data.

PREP Design was founded in 2017. Between 2018 and April 2023, PREP was available to OPRL Members. PREP is used at the design stage of packaging (for all materials) to ensure it is recyclable in the UK market.
It is appreciated there are many variable factors across the UK recycling market, but PREP uniquely simulates the journey of packaging from collection, sorting, and down-stream reprocessors.
A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), made up of experts from across the supply chain, was formed by OPRL in 2020 to ensure the PREP settings were aligned with the OPRL Label Guidelines.
Uniquely, PREP provides immediate feedback to the designer to explain why an item of packaging is not recyclable so changes can be made before going to market.
The latest version of PREP includes new features, including:
- A more granular evaluation framework that considers the bonding of composite materials
- PREP Data Sharing module to receive projects from suppliers;
- Middleware to allow for CSV data uploads and API links; and
- EPR module, which allows users to estimate their future liabilities using eco-modulation fees.

At Quorn Foods Ltd, they believe they have a significant role to play as part of the future food challenge. The research they have invested in since 2010 has worked to gain a comprehensive view of the environmental impacts of their product range, in order for them to contribute to the wider sustainable diets debate. The history of Quorn Foods holds an interesting resonance with today’s challenge of how to achieve sustainable nutrition within the context of climate change. The original ‘Quorn Story’ began in the 1960s, when the founder of the business Lord J. Arthur Rank envisaged a new way of producing protein. This was a reaction to the food security concerns at the time and required significant research and development over many years. The framework of the research was built on finding a micro-organism that could convert carbohydrates into more nutritionally valuable proteins. This led to the discovery of a tiny member of the fungi family that was capable of this conversion via fermentation. The resulting unique ingredient – Mycoprotein – offers authentic meat-like texture, has a range of nutritional benefits and a low environmental impact. Returning to more recent times – in October 2015 the business was acquired by Monde Nissin Corporation, based in the Philippines. Monde Nissin consider Quorn to be central to their vision of building a business respectful of our planet as well as contributing to improved public health and food security. They have invested significantly in terms of marketing and capital and expect to spend a further £100m over the next five years. Business turnover in 2017 exceeded £200m, with sales to most western European Countries, Australasia, USA and more recently new markets in South East Asia. Our Head Office is based in North Yorkshire and we have two other production facilities in the UK, as well as sales offices in USA and across Europe. We employ around 800 people across the business. This is an exciting time for the continuing development of our organisation as we set out to achieve our ambition of becoming the world’s first $1 billion meat-free business by 2027.

ReNew ELP are launching the world’s first HydroPRS™ hydrothermal advanced recycling site in Teesside, North East England, in 2023. Capable of producing 20,000 tonnes of recycled, fossil-equivalent hydrocarbons annually, this first site will act as a springboard for further global sites by parent company, Mura Technology, based in London. The process uses water at high pressure and high temperatures to convert end-of-life waste plastic back into the oils it was originally made from, for use in the manufacture of new plastics and other products.
The HydroPRS™ technology can recycle the ‘unrecyclable’ – plastic materials currently sent to landfill, incineration or leaked into the environment, such as flexible, multi-layered, soft and rigid plastic – producing from it the ingredients for new plastic, creating a circular economy and significantly reducing carbon emissions. This eliminates the need for fossil resource in the manufacture of plastic.
Instead of continually making new materials as part of a ‘single-use’ culture, Mura’s process creates an infinite loop of creation, use, and recycling.
HydroPRS™ delivers a sustainable, low carbon circular plastics economy by avoiding harmful greenhouse gas emissions from burning plastic and producing premium oils at a lower carbon footprint than the current fossil-based system.
