Coral Products (Mouldings) Ltd’s new in-house recycling plant, based at its site in Haydock, Merseyside, will be fully operational in January 2019, following a recent investment boost.
The recycling plant will provide a new avenue for councils and local authorities to recycle polypropylene waste products. At the site, the waste plastic will be reground and used to create new products, reducing the amount of waste going to landfill. The established plastics company took its range of plastic kerbside recycling and food waste products to both RWM and LARAC 2018, where they, along with its circular economy-efficient business model and processes, drew much interest from the assembled audiences of waste professionals.
Coral has a wide range of products designed for the collection and storage of waste, ranging from a five-litre food waste caddy to a 62-litre storage box.
The company’s 23-litre deluxe kerbside caddy was also discussed during LARAC 2018. It has been tried out by a wide variety of consumers in rural, urban and coastal locations, with positive feedback on Coral’s strong product, design achievements and quality testing processes.
You can find out more about Coral on the company’s website.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
