With 40 + current partners for infeed into our plant, we are moving to a second shift, with the aim of increasing our annual capacity to recycle 20,000t polypropylene( PP) carpet material. We take daily deliveries, and we are looking for more.

We currently offer a zero-gate fee for target material delivered into us in Northampton and will consider a volume rebate for continuity of quality with no nontarget / contamination.
The Innovate Recycle process reclaims polypropylene fibre from waste PP carpet which provides exceptional qualities of purity, strength and recyclability and an end of line product that can be continually repurposed to manufacture components across a wide range of industries. The process also reclaims calcium carbonate for reuse in industry.
Customers of our product include automotive, horticulture and construction sectors.
We invite proactive partners from the supply chain to work with us to help the sector to demonstrate best practice. Stay ahead of policy changes, get certification on recycled volumes, increase your ESG standards and save on your disposal costs of our target material.
