Coral's Haydock recycling plant gains accredited re-processor status.

The Coral Board is pleased to announce that its recently commissioned plastic recycling facility at our Haydock mouldings plant has been granted accredited re-processor status via the UK Environment Agency by meeting the strict guidelines of "The producer responsibility obligations (packaging waste) regulations 2007." The new status, beginning 1 Jan 2020, will give the business the opportunity to reduce operational costs by fully off-setting the plastic packaging waste levy it currently incurs in the future.

Due to very high internal and external capacity demand of clean recycled plastic the operational hours of our recycling unit will increase from the current 8 hour 5 day per week to 16 hour 5 day per week in December 2019. A further capacity increase to a 24 hour 5 day operation is planned to be completed by 30 April 2020.

Mick Wood CEO said "This accreditation is the culmination of many months of hard work by the Coral team. Following on from our new lightweight recycling bins and boxes that came on stream earlier in the year, it further demonstrates our focused commitment to plastic minimisation and 360 degree plastic recycling."

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.
