About Impact Recycling

Impact Recycling is a UK-based company founded in 2014 that focuses on advanced mechanical recycling technology for post-consumer plastic waste.

The company specializes in separating mixed rigid plastics into high-purity polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) resins using its patented BOSS (Baffled Oscillation Separation System). This innovative technology employs a water-based density separation process to achieve high purity levels of 95-98% from mixed rigid plastic waste. Headquartered in areas including Falkirk/Grangemouth and Bellshill, Impact Recycling operates in the plastics recycling and machinery manufacturing sector. The company has experienced significant growth, with estimated annual sales of £2.8 million and a rapid sales growth rate of 108% CAGR over three years. Its flagship plant in Newcastle processes 6,000 tons of mixed rigid waste annually, supplying recycled materials to customers in the UK and EU. Impact Recycling is committed to enhancing the circular economy and reducing carbon footprints through local processing and modular machine deployments.
