Part of the pan-European Plastic Omnium group, the Telford-based company has supplied over six million wheeled containers in the UK since 1987, including half a million so far in 2003. The company's customers have included Onyx Sheffield, Ikea, Recoup, Alcan Recycling and the Eden Project.

Demand for containers is set to continue as English local authorities apply for the two-year 135 million fund available from DEFRA (see letsrecycle.com story).
The fund will see 90m available in 2004-05 and 45m in 2005-06, with the first application deadline on November 28, 2003.
Plastic Omnium sees the interactivity of its new online platform as providing its customers with easier access to product information and ordering for products including wheeled bins, kerbside boxes, bring banks and street furniture.
Commenting on the new site, business development manager Nicky Oxenham said: “Some time ago, we in the UK took the decision that Plastic Omnium Urban Systems UK needed its own stand alone website, separate, but complimentary to the main corporate website run in our Paris headquarters, in order to better cater for, inform and represent our own local market.”
She added: “We believe that this new site is much easier to navigate for the user, as well as keeping existing and prospective clients advised of new product launches, educating them regarding specific waste management schemes which have been adopted in the environmental and waste sector and it will also become a major Plastic Omnium sales and marketing tool to actively support the business.”
