Recycling firm seals ‘landmark’ nine-figure deal

A Harrogate-based recycling and waste management firm has secured a major supply contract for a new plastics plant. 

Clearpoint Recycling has agreed a nine-figure deal with Cheshire-based specialist polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycler Enviroo to supply 35,000 tonnes of PET waste per year to its new facility in Ellesmere Port, due to open in 2027. 

The site will turn PET waste into food-grade recycled plastic to meet growing global demand, with the agreement supporting the UK’s recycling infrastructure and the implementation of the Government’s Deposit Return Scheme, ensuring a robust supply chain for recovered PET bottles.

Mark Garrett, managing director at Clearpoint Recycling, said: “We are delighted to be supplying one of the UK’s largest and most innovative plastic recycling plants. 

“It’s a very exciting time for us as an independent company – this new deal allows us to create new jobs within commercial and operational functions in a fast-moving sector. 

“With our launch into Lithuania earlier this year, we have big ambitions and we look forward to continuing our journey of growth, with our core strategy to source locally and sell globally in delivery of this vital global mission.” 

Ahmed Detta, chief executive of Enviroo, added: “This landmark agreement with Clearpoint Recycling is a significant step forward in strengthening the UK’s circular economy. 

“By securing a consistent, high-quality supply of PET material, we are ensuring that our facility at Ellesmere Port will play a crucial role in turning waste into valuable, certified, food-grade recycled PET. 

“This partnership not only underscores our commitment to sustainability but also contributes to job creation in the community and innovation in the recycling sector. 

“Together, we are driving a more sustainable future for the UK and beyond.”
