Plastics Prices
The prices shown below are given as a guide price for the sum paid for used plastic film or bottles delivered to a UK merchant or reprocessing business. These businesses will either recycle the plastics within the UK or in the case of merchants, send it overseas for reprocessing. The price for mixed plastic bottles will be strongly influenced by the level of HDPE material within the bale.
Note: Collection of material by the UK business or exporter (on an ex works basis) will see the buyer charging a fee per tonne for collection which can range from £15-35 a tonne depending on material quality, volume, location and transport costs.
