IPL Brightgreen Expands Buy Back Scheme to Support UK Plastics Circularity

IPL Brightgreen, a specialist in UK plastic recycling and circular manufacturing, has expanded its pioneering Buy Back Scheme. This initiative offers businesses across the UK a practical, financially viable route to recycle their polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) waste. The scheme underscores IPL Brightgreen’s role as a key player in closing the loop on industrial and commercial plastics.

As more businesses seek ways to reduce their environmental footprint and comply with growing legislative pressures, the Buy Back Scheme offers a straightforward way to return clean, sorted PP and HDPE materials for guaranteed recycling and reuse. In return, organisations are paid a competitive rate for their plastic waste, driving both sustainability and commercial benefit.

Headquartered in Castleford, West Yorkshire, IPL Brightgreen operates from a purpose-built facility equipped to process thousands of tonnes of post-consumer and post-industrial plastic every year. The company transforms recovered materials into high-quality regranulate that feeds directly back into UK manufacturing, reducing the reliance on virgin polymers and lowering carbon emissions across the supply chain.

Nicola Taylor, Head of Commercial at IPL Brightgreen, said: “Recycling should work in tandem with production. Our Buy Back Scheme gives manufacturers and suppliers the power to make real change by recovering valuable PP and HDPE plastic that would otherwise be lost to landfill or incineration. These materials can be reprocessed and reused again and again—preserving resources, reducing emissions and cutting costs. It’s a win-win, and we’re proud to be leading the way in making it happen.”

The Buy Back Scheme is already helping customers in sectors including logistics, construction, food processing, horticulture, and healthcare to reduce plastic waste, demonstrate environmental compliance, and meet ESG goals. The company’s strong links with UK and European regulatory bodies, recyclers, and sustainability networks ensure that all material is handled in line with best practice and full traceability.

IPL Brightgreen is also a proud supporter of Operation Clean Sweep, a British Plastics Federation initiative committed to reducing plastic pellet, flake, and powder loss into the environment. This, along with their active membership in RECOUP, underlines their dedication to environmental responsibility and transparency.

Customers who join the scheme receive complete reporting on the volume, material type, and end use of their returned plastics, supporting data-driven sustainability performance and certification needs.

Key Benefits of the Buy Back Scheme:

• Competitive rates paid for clean, separated HDPE and PP waste
• Reduced reliance on virgin plastic and landfill
• Full traceability and auditable sustainability data
• Alignment with legislative and industry targets
• Flexible collection and logistics support across the UK
