Bringing recycling to a whole new level

Reflex Plastics Technology has found a foolproof recession idea — recycling agricultural bale wraps into high-grade material which can be used to make plastic film or refuse sacks and thereby cutting waste, writes Trish Dromey

Multimillion-euro opportunities are opening up for Offaly-based company Reflex Plastics Technology, which for the last six months, has been turning waste agricultural bale wrap into high-grade poly-ethylene plastic pellets.

The unusual thing about the company is not that it recycles this form of plastic but that it can turn it into high-grade material which can be used to make plastic film or refuse sacks again.
