A collection and recycling route for suitable empty plastic bottles.
Empty reagent and chemical bottles take up space and add to the waste your site has to manage. PMA offers a service to collect suitable empty plastic bottles and arrange granulation for recycling.
Granulation reduces the plastic into smaller pieces for onward recycling and potential use in new plastic products. The first step is to agree which containers are suitable and how they should be presented for collection. Tell us what the bottles held, rather than assuming that all empty containers can follow the same route.
Discuss the types and quantity of bottles, their previous contents and your site location. We can review the collection and handling arrangements for the proposed material.
Suitable plastic bottles are granulated for onward recycling. This provides a route to recover material from an agreed waste stream rather than treating every empty bottle as general waste.
PMA’s published bottle-granulation service includes a contribution from service revenue to WaterAid. Ask our team about the current arrangement when discussing your collection.
Acceptance and collection arrangements need to be confirmed before bottles are sent. Clear information helps us assess whether the service is suitable for your site.
Share the container and previous-product details so suitability can be assessed.
Confirm acceptance, how the bottles should be presented and the collection requirements with PMA.
Suitable collected containers move through the agreed granulation and recycling route.
PMA has served laboratories and process industries since 1971. Work with a team that can discuss the chemical, its application and the practical details of supply together.
Do not assume so. PMA needs to review the bottle material, previous contents and condition before confirming acceptance and collection arrangements.
The plastic is reduced into smaller pieces so it can enter an onward recycling process. The route depends on the material accepted for the service.
No. The service may support your site’s waste-reduction activities, but it does not confer certification or replace your own environmental management obligations.
Contact PMA with the bottle types, previous contents, approximate quantity and collection address. We will review suitability and discuss the next steps before any containers are sent.
