*A UK-based plastic cup and 19 litre (5 gallon) water bottle cap supplier has launched a service that will enable its customers to recycle returned plastic components. * Packseal devised the free scheme to assist its clients with their recycling needs and give them the opportunity to earn money from the sale of scrap plastic. If sufficient quantities of bottles, caps or other clean waste, which are inevitable by-products of the bottled water cooler business, are collected by the company’s recycling partners, then payment could be made for the returned material.

Every customer who purchases Packseal caps will be eligible for the initiative, free of charge. Initial responses from clients have been positive, with a number already taking the scheme on board.

Packseal will be exhibiting at the forthcoming BWCA show at stand 36a where interested parties can find out more about the service.
