Leafield Environmental Steps up to the Global Recycling Challenge

Leafield Environmental is attracting lots of interest from overseas markets on the back of strong demand worldwide for good quality recycling and litter products.

MD Phil Maddox said: “New recycling legislations in the UK and abroad is driving the demand for good quality, robust plastic bins globally.”

The company manufactures using rotational moulding to produce superior quality, hard-wearing plastic products widely used across the UK in many areas including education, healthcare, retail, private business and the public sector.

“We are already working with over 40 international customers in over 15 countries and more and more orders are coming from new markets.”

“Leafield is right at the centre of this growing global industry - realising our vision will help us not only secure the long term success of the company, but highlight our position as a leading British manufacturer.”

Leafield is working closely with the UKTI to explore new distribution and reseller networks in Europe, Middle East, and North America to forge new relationships and build the brand globally.
