Binbrook - Internship

We are delighted to welcome a new Intern to Binbrook. Alison Jacquemin is a French Student studying Business and Sciences at E.S.P.A.S- University Catholic of Lille. 

To assist with her studies, she is spending time with all four Divisions in the CKN Holdings Group to develop a clear understanding of the plastic recycling operation. 

In order to enrich her experience and development, time will be spent with staff at our Binbrook Head Office, Laboratory and Warehouse as well as supporting our Commercial team with sourcing materials for recycling in the UK and the sale of regrinds into Europe.

In preparation for the RWM Exhibition in Birmingham (10th-12th September 2013) Alison is already involved in the planning of our stand. 

We all look forward to working with Alison over the next six months.

Plastic recycling

You can recycle plastic you use within your home and within your workplace, for example putting recycling bins in the corner of the office. This makes it easier for the office to come together and recycle as a group, for example recycling your water bottles.

Let us know how you recycle in your daily life by commenting on this post.

Plastics Wanted for Recycling

CK Plastic Recycling buy, sell and recycle all types of plastic wastes and offer a reliable collection / delivery service. When purchasing your unwanted items we do not cherry pick the best and we will clear your site of all plastics and pay promptly to agreed terms.

We can also provide on-site cages, packaging, skips, trailers etc. to aid with site management. For larger quantities we may even be able to provide grinding and baling facilities and personnel to operate them (please ask for further details).

Weights for all materials purchased are verified using our own weighbridge.

If you need to dispose of any plastic materials, send us the details using the link to the form below and we will contact you immediately with a package to suit your needs.

We do not take waste from individual households and recommend that if you wish to recycle your household plastic waste that you talk to your local council or try the Recoup organisation.

U-Turn On Weekly Bin Collections

Whilst at first glance the UK’s government apparent U-turn on the going back to weekly wheelie bin collections would seem like a poor decision, yes there are many benefits, not just the obvious one’s either, like no longer struggling to fit two week’s worth of rubbish in to your bin, thus reducing the number of bags you have to carry down the drive and place at the side of your wheelie bin in the hope the refuse collectors take it with them. But given that most of us in the UK either have two or sometimes 3 different wheelie bins at home would you really want to have to put the bins out on the bottom of your drive or on the pavement 3 times a week, once for each one?

Then there is the cost, the government has said the cost to local councils will be too high to provide a weekly bin collection service to all their residents, and you have to agree the cost whilst I have no idea how much that would be nationally, I can see that a whole new refuse teams and refuse lorries would be needed, great in theory, job creation nationwide but this would all need to be paid for by someone, rate payers perhaps?

Another relevant point that has not been highlighted much is the cost of changing all our wheelie bins, these would all be swopped for smaller ones, we won’t get such large wheelie bins with weekly collections so all the old ones would have to be collected from every house and new ones delivered in their place, again job creation but lots of lorries and fuel required.

So whilst here at CK Polymers we would be inundated with recycling 100’s of thousands of wheelie bins we have to recognise the cost to the tax payer that would result from local councils having no choice but to increase rates to cover the weekly bin collections.
