Recycling of packaging waste in the UK

In the United Kingdom, packaging reuse is a very common and natural thing. If you go shopping with Comet, packaging and reuse are even more necessary. Currently, Comet is looking for ways to recycle more than 400 tons of polystyrene a year, and they can surpass all competitors in the UK retail sector in reusing this special material. Comet, through its sister company B&Q, can sell at least 50% of its recycled polystyrene, gaining a net profit for itself, and earning honors. The company's management methods and recycling goals are included in the government's Best Practices Manual.

What does the recycled waste eventually become? Their environmental coordinator said: For polystyrene, we have a complete environmental and commercial circulation loop. As soon as PS is packaged in Comet, it becomes a recycled product, no longer a product for consumers, but becomes a profitable thing for B&Q, and it eventually turns into a fence for the garden to reappear. Therefore, Comet's recycling strategy can be summarized as innovative scrap materials, and the treatment is much better than the "Packaging and Recycling Regulations" requirements. In addition, Comet will process 400 tons of waste paperboard and 300 tons of polystyrene annually for packaging and sell it to a waste disposal company.
