CHASE Plastics has been awarded RecyClass Recycling Process Certification.
The accreditation is awarded to plastic recyclers who can demonstrate the quality of their recycling processes and the traceability of the plastic waste.
The RecyClass audit scheme, which comprehensively examines the process to ensure recycling operations are environmentally sound, is aligned with the EN 15343:2007 and ISO 22095:2020 standards. Chase Plastics previously held EUCertPlast accreditation prior to both audit schemes being combined.
Operating from a factory in Brandon, Suffolk, Chase Plastics manufactures the RECOTHENE range of recycled plastic pellets from recycled polyethylene. RECOTHENE rPE is used in the production of a variety of plastic products across the UK manufacturing supply chain.
Speaking of the accreditation, David Harris, CEO at Chase Plastic, said, “RecyClass ensures that customers using RECOTHENE can prove the origin of the recycled content within their products and demonstrate their compliance with the UK Plastics Packaging Tax. Plastic packaging produced using RECOTHENE now offers a clear advantage compared to low cost imports which cannot back up their recycled content claims.”
