Here the raw materials are put through cleaning, cutting and sorting processes and blown directly from production into specially designed 45’ Max-Bulk Intermodal containers

There is no on-site storage facility and continuous loading is required as all plants operate 24/7

The goods are then shipped to the Polyester manufacturing facility in Ireland

The recovered PET flake has to be blended to achieve different grades/products and finished product quality is checked. Bale is wrapped and moved from production to storage to then be shipped direct to client or UK/DE Regional Distribution Centres
