The government is putting more pressure on businesses than ever before and setting specific recycling targets which are higher every year. Companies which are found not to be taking responsibility for their recycling obligations are facing legal action and bad publicity for non-compliance.

The good news is, that by managing your waste into separate streams and preparing it for transport, it can potentially be sold for recycling and produce an income instead of being a cost and a burden to the company. You can also have a clear conscience in knowing that you are doing your bit for the environment by having your waste recycled and diverting it away from landfill sites.

Norpol’s innovation and expertise has been at the forefront of British polymer recycling for over 30 years. Our success has enabled continuous investment in modern environmental technology.

In the last ten years Norpol have moved forward considerably. The company has expanded dramatically and the site has been extended to accommodate new machinery and provide warehousing. In addition to compounding and service work, Norpol have also invested heavily into shredding and granulation work as well as expanding the export side of the business. Whilst our modern fleet covers all areas of the U.K. Norpol’s administration is well accustomed to the global markets and our financial standing is well respected, firmly established and second to none.

During the last two and a half years Norpol have built a strong working relationship with GSS Support Services and Marks and Spencer and have been instrumental in assisting  them to close the recycling loop with suppliers. In addition to the existing turnover, Norpol currently recycle in the region of 2000 tons per annum. Working with GSS, Norpol are the largest recyclers of M&S garment wrap and are proud to be associated with them.

In 2007 Norpol acquired the yard adjacent to their site, enabling them to increase their capacity and expand even further. In 2008 new buildings will be erected and more new machinery will be installed to cope with the demand. Working closely with the council, Norpol also handle all mixed plastics and plastic bottles from the kerbside collections.
