For many businesses, packaging waste and obsolete materials can build up over time, and without a solution in place, this unwanted stock becomes challenging to dispose of efficiently, responsibly and profitably.
Our Recycle with Clarity experts have years of experience assisting people with this very issue, and provide a transparent, ethical and cost-effective way to transform unwanted materials into profit. Clients often report that our streamlined, transparent service has helped them receive up to 20% higher revenues for their recyclables.
Below, we’ll outline how you can maximise returns on your recycling with help from Recycle with Clarity.
1. Evaluate the Quality of Your Materials
An important first step is to assess the quality of your materials. Consider:
- Storage conditions: Keeping disused packaging outside and exposed to the elements can reduce its value – especially cardboard, which degrades when wet.
- Material grades: Packaging such as plastic film varies in value depending on grade. Is your plastic one grade, or several mixed together?
2. What Counts as Recycling?
There are likely materials on your site that haven’t even been identified as recyclable, resulting in wasted profit for your business.
Easily overlooked recyclable materials include:
- Plastic pallets and strapping
- Shrink wrap and stretch film
- Cardboard cages
- Rigid plastics
- Metals
- Damaged or redundant stock
A free site inspection from one of our recycling experts will ensure that:
- Every recyclable material on site is identified
- You receive expert advice on maximising the quality of these materials
- We find the best possible home for each material to deliver higher rebates
3. Speak to the Right People
A key step is to make sure you are working with a partner who can handle your recycling responsibly and profitably. By opting to Recycle with Clarity, you:

4. Make Your Waste Work for You
Many businesses only divide their materials into general mixed recycling or waste – and end up paying for these to be removed, not realising that there’s a better option.
Other companies hold onto an excess of outdated packaging and stock, unsure how to dispose of this responsibly.
By choosing to Recycle with Clarity, your waste can work for you.
