“It’s a very exciting time for us as an independent company – this new deal allows us to create new jobs within commercial and operational functions in a fast-moving sector.
“With our launch into Lithuania earlier this year, we have big ambitions and we look forward to continuing our journey of growth, with our core strategy to source locally and sell globally in delivery of this vital global mission.”
Ahmed Detta, CEO of Enviroo, commented on the partnership, “This landmark agreement with Clearpoint Recycling is a significant step forward in strengthening the UK’s circular economy.
“By securing a consistent, high-quality supply of PET material, we are ensuring that our facility at Ellesmere Port will play a crucial role in turning waste into valuable, certified, food-grade recycled PET. This partnership not only underscores our commitment to sustainability but also contributes to job creation in the community and innovation in the recycling sector. Together, we are driving a more sustainable future for the UK and beyond.”
Founded in 2012, Clearpoint Recycling works directly with a number of Yorkshire-based companies, including Yorwaste and H W Martin Waste Ltd to find effective routes to market for recovered recyclable materials.
