PET Recycling

Turn Your Waste into Revenue

PET recycling plays a crucial role in reducing plastic waste and supporting sustainable packaging. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a strong, lightweight, and transparent thermoplastic commonly used in food and beverage packaging. It is most often found in products such as bottles, trays, and clear containers, making it one of the most widely recycled plastics worldwide.

At GK Recycling, we specialise in collecting and recycling a wide range of PET materials from businesses across the UK. Our efficient recycling processes help transform waste PET into reusable, high-quality material, supporting a more circular and environmentally responsible approach to plastic usage.
