We all experienced major difficulties last year when the end market for materials significantly reduced its demand and discounted the price being paid by over 30%. Although the market rallied in January and has shown reasonable growth since then we feel that the current situation is somewhat fragile and that we may see a downturn in demand. Our Quality Initiative is a way of increasing the value of the material and also increases the acceptance level of our material. This is important in times of weak demand as end users look for reasons to down grade the quality and reduce the price they are prepared to pay for material.
Our Quality Initiative involves us analysing customer’s materials for different plastic types and percentages, checking for any non plastic contamination, weighing the bale and assessing the overall cleanliness of the product. We can also arrange for the material to be put through our MRF where appropriate to add more value. By providing the end users with more detail they can fully appreciate the quality of the material and offer the appropriate value.” Eurokey Recycling Ltd collects plastic, steel, cardboard and aluminium from all over the UK. Its customer base includes most Waste Management Companies, many of the High Street Stores as well as Supermarkets and Distribution Companies.
Continued investment in collection infrastructure and with well established end users ensure they offer competitive prices for your material as well as ensuring that material finds an end market even in difficult times.
