ALPLA UK, a subsidiary of the ALPLA Group, a plastic packaging company, will cooperate with the British waste management company Biffa. With this collaboration, ALPLA will increase the proportion of British recyclate used in the UK to manufacture packaging for home care products.
ALPLA UK will source food-grade polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) plastic pellets from the Biffa recycling plant in Seaham, County Durham. The recyclate will be used for the manufacture of home care packaging. As such, the amount of recycled plastic used in day-to-day household products such as washing-up liquid and cleaning product bottles will increase.
