[Kent, 29/10/2019] – In 2015, consumers in Britain generated 1.5 million tonnes of plastic waste. Figures compiled by the Recoup UK Household Plastics Collection survey revealed that, of that huge amount of plastic waste, only 500,000 tonnes were recycled, while the rest were sent to landfills or incinerated.

While more and more people have gotten into the practice of recycling since then, there’s still much to be done. With too much plastic waste to deal with, the British government is sending the material to other countries as it warned that the region is running out of landfill space.

This is just one reason that recycling efforts must be heightened. LKM Recycling, one of the UK’s top total waste management solution companies, has UPVC plastic recycling services, which help keep plastic materials out of landfills.

Environmentally Friendly UPVC Waste Solutions
Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride or UPVC is a rigid, chemically-resistant form of PVC that is usually used as an alternative material to create window frames and other structures. It is widely used across the UK but is usually discarded when no longer in use.

LKM Recycling gives businesses a better way of disposing UPVC waste, like window frames. Through their UPVC recycling service, they help reduce the UPVC waste that goes to landfills.

The team picks up customers’ UPVC waste and, instead of sending it off to landfills, they’re taken to the company’s purpose-built shredder. Then, LKM Recycling extracts the metal and waste products from the material, leaving clean UPVC that can be reused in other manufacturing processes. The company also mixes UPVC with virgin polymer to produce new long-life products, including window profiles.

Through UPVC recycling, LKM Recycling helps businesses to not only save on waste disposal costs but also to reduce their environmental impact and potentially make money from waste materials.
