We care about the Earth, do you?

There is a lot of negative publicity surrounding "plastic" at the present time. Think about supermarket plastic bags, plastic waste in landfill that will last 1000's of years and also there is the enormous stew of rubbish, consisting of 80 percent plastics, weighing in at around 3.5 million tons according to oceanographers - which floats in the sea in a area where few people ever travel. It doesn't sound good for the future of plastics long term does it.?

But hold on a minute, think about some of the good things that plastics or more accurately, polymers can offer us. Think about the use of polymers in vehicle manufacture, which are used to make vehides lighter and more efficient, think about the use of polymers in place of timber and helping to reduce de-forestation. Then think about the fact that a majority of polymers can be easily recycled rather than sending them to landfill and polymers are not quite as bad as they are being made out to be. Maybe it's not the fault of the designers, engineers and manufacturers for using polymers in their products and packaging, but more likely the fault lies with the rest of us for not recycling them properly when we have finished with them. It is the responsibility of all of us to recycle more, both now and even more so in the future.

WM recycling policy:
Send your old and/or damaged WM HDPE panels back to us and we will recycle them for you - FREE OF CHARGE. To help you do your bit for the environment, we are taking the initiative and offering you a service where you can send your old and/or damaged WM HDPE panels back to our factory and we will ensure that the HDPE is also recycled FREE OF CHARGE. All we ask is that these panels are originally supplied WM and that you send them back to us stripped down to the bare panel, so all the fixing and any non-HDPE components have been removed.
