Tailored to each customer
Helping to reduce waste
At GAP Plastics, we are proud to be one of the UK's largest converters of recycled materials by percentage of material throughput. We are renowned for our ability to process recycled materials tailored to each customer’s specific application, helping to reduce waste.
Where 100% recycled material cannot be used, we employ a sustainable approach by blending virgin polymers with alternative, eco-friendly materials. This combination reduces the reliance on oil-derived polymers, lessening the need for virgin polymer and contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process. Our material blends include sustainable options such as glass, gas, wood, and plant-based materials, ensuring we offer solutions that are both innovative and environmentally responsible.
Bio-based materials
Minimising our carbon footprint
GAP Plastics is also partnered with feedstock manufacturers and can process bio-based materials that are plastic-free. These materials can be used in conventional moulds, offering a viable alternative to traditional plastics. Examples include compostable materials sourced from UK suppliers, reducing the need for global shipping and further minimising our carbon footprint.
Commitment to sustainability
Our commitment to sustainability drives every part of our operation, from material selection to production methods. At GAP Plastics, we continuously seek innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact while delivering high-quality products to our customers.
