Drive Towards A Circular Economy

Coral Products PLC are a UK plastic’s company. The Company pride itself that they have identified the importance of utilising resource (plastic), some class this as waste, however it is a profitable material.

With the on-going investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment coupled with manufacturing products that, whilst light weight, still exceed the term “fit for purpose” places this organisation as a market leader and one to watch (Coral Products Mouldings Ltd Manufacturing Review 2019.)

As part of the group’s investment strategy a new plastics recycling plant has been developed, purchased and installed at the Haydock manufacturing facility. This new plant is now being used to successfully recycle end-of-life bins, boxes, caddies and totes supplied via authorities and on-line tote companies, reducing landfill and enabling the business to become truly part of the 360-degree circular economy.

Changing an approach to design has enabled more innovative designs whilst reducing the content of plastic and promoting recycled content has had an impact on reducing raw material purchases, thus reducing material sent to landfill. This approach has placed Coral as a leader in its field.

Participation with The British Plastics Federation has supported innovation and change. Becoming members and joining the BPF'S operation Clean Sweep initative as a business help support endeavours to make that difference.

Many feel very strongly that plastic is a negative, that we should eradicate it, but the contribution and ability to make changes that plastic is a resource, that we can utilise and that behaviours and patterns of us as individuals can make the difference, reusing, reducing and recycling as a circular economy business is essential.

As a group they create reusable products, that can support the reduction of quantities of plastic within the home. Constant focus on R&D in recycling is enabling the business to create products that can be used time and time again without loss of functionality with the knowledge that they have been manufactured using recycled products that were, at one time, destined for landfill.

We want to encourage people to look at the bigger picture and identify that genuine businesses are doing great things and are making changes.
