The deal will see Clearpoint supply recycler Enviroo with feedstock for its upcoming waste plastics recycling plant at the Protos Park in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
Once the site opens in 2027, the waste management company will deliver more than 30,000 tonnes of PET material to the facility annually.
The plant will convert waste plastics into certified food-grade recycled PET (rPET) to meet the growing demand in the global market.
England is set to launch a deposit return scheme (DRS) in October 2027 which will include PET bottles.
Clearpoint said that the facility is set to be one of only three food-grade rPET facilities in the UK.
Mark Garrett, managing director at Clearpoint Recycling, said: “The plant is a much-needed outlet for PET to be converted into certified food-grade rPET, which the UK market is crying out for.
“We look forward to working with our existing partners and invite offers from other suppliers to feed into the plant.
“With Clearpoint responsible for the supply of feedstock into the facility and the sales out it places us at the centre of the circular economy.
“This will enable Clearpoint Recycling to continue to remain independent while investing in high-skilled roles across all business units.”
Ahmed Detta, CEO of Enviroo, added: “This landmark agreement with Clearpoint Recycling is a significant step forward in strengthening the UK’s circular economy.
“By securing a consistent, high-quality supply of PET material, we are ensuring that our facility at Ellesmere Port will play a crucial role in turning waste into valuable, certified, food-grade recycled PET.
“This partnership not only underscores our commitment to sustainability but also contributes to job creation in the community and innovation in the recycling sector.
“Together, we are driving a more sustainable future for the UK and beyond.”
