2 Recycling are pleased to be awarded the coveted ‘Gold’ supplier Status to Hydro Aluminium UK Limited for the closed loop supply of Aluminium Extrusion scrap for all deliveries during 2024.

Hydro are the UK’s largest extrusion smelting and casting company, with a capacity of over 120,000 tonnes per year, Hydro are an essential part of the circular economy as they re-use large tonnages of scrap in place of virgin feed-stock.  2 Recycling are proud to achieve the ‘Gold’ award for the 5^th consecutive year which helps cement our position as an integral part of the UK’s Aluminium Extrusion recycling closed loop system. Allied to our Carbon Offset promise, and our unique photographic weighbridge tickets, selling your Aluminium Extrusion scrap to us is possibly the best thing you can do for the environment and your financial returns.

It is very disappointing to hear that “Ministers from the UK Government, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Northern Ireland, Scottish Government, and Welsh Government have now evaluated the Digital Waste Tracking project and have agreed that Digital Waste Tracking will not become mandatory in April 2025.” They are hoping that April 2026 will be the new deadline, but we’ll all have to wait and see.

However, 2 Recycling are already embracing the new technology and we already have Digital Waste Transfer Notes, so if you want to join us by using our state of the art Digital Waste Transfer notes along with our Industry Leading ‘Photographic Weighbridge Tickets then please give us a call on 01476 513900

Under the Environment Act 2021 all ‘Waste Transfer Notes’ must become digital by April 2025. However, the government has yet to clarify how the system is to operate & most people in the industry are expecting the implementation date to be postponed. We are all expecting an update on the matter over the coming weeks. It doesn’t matter to us because we started the transformation last year and will be ready for the April 2025 deadline in any case, making it digital for all of our customers.

With the landscape constantly changing in the waste industry and with many new and updated pieces of legislation affecting the Scrap Metals we buy from our customers, we have now joined with the British Metals Recycling Association. They are the voice of the metals recycling industry and are connected into the stream of new legislation and matters affecting our industry. We want to doubly make sure we are at the forefront of all matters concerning the market and legislation coming our way so that we can remain ahead of the curve for all of our customers. You can see their website here.

For the fourth consecutive year we have achieved CARBON NEUTRAL STATUS as confirmed by Carbon Neutral Britain™ . We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Carbon Neutral Britain™ and support the projects that they manage around the world.

Providing our customers with ‘evidence’ of what scrap metals we have collected with our stunning ‘Photographic Weighbridge Tickets’ seems to be the key reason why 2 Recycling has taken delivery of just over 1000 new bins and skips in the first 6 months of 2024 for all of our new customers. The demand for our services continues to grow.

The biggest factor time and time again is the quality of our paperwork. Ask yourself if the paperwork trail is good enough you get from your current merchant? If it isn’t then why not chat to us, you’ll be amazed at the difference. You’ll be able to experience certainty for the first time with our photographic weighbridge tickets.

We are pleased to welcome our newest addition to the fleet, our new Tiger Trailers’ Double Deck curved roof trailer and Moffett fork lift truck.

The trailer comes with the addition of its own fork lift truck, further expanding the fleet of lorry mounted forklifts, and with the curved roof design which compared to our old high cube square trailer will save up to 7% in fuel consumption and CO2.

After a significant tender process 2 Recycling have now signed to move all of their electricity consumption to a guaranteed green energy supplier. Our new supplier guarantees that the electricity our 90,000 sqft site uses will only come from renewable sources. This is a great win for the environment and helps us further take Carbon out of our operations.

Its so easy for our customers now to distinguish between good material and scrap material.

We have just taken delivery of our first dedicated Skip lorry trailer to collect bins/cradles and pallets at the same time.

2 Recycling is always thinking of innovative and economical collection services, and we think you’ll like this one.

With over 300 new bins delivered to our works in August so far we continue to expand our fleet of containers. The new containers are necessary to cope with our increasing customer base throughout the UK.  More and more companies are discovering the advantages of using our services and they especially like the evidence based paperwork trail we provide.

Our customers can rest assured that we continue investing in our container fleet, this year alone we have already added well over 500 new skips and bins into circulation.

Following new investment in larger and faster cutting equipment 2 Recycling Ltd can now process extra long-length materials. We can receive materials typically measuring up to 13 meters long and provide next-day collections where possible. This means that your surplus stock is never in the way and your business can continue as usual.

As part of our sustained investment programme we moved to our new £4m 90,000sqft building here in Grantham. The investment has allowed us to work more safely and have the ability to grow at a faster rate than we were able to in our last premises. The continued investment planned for this year and next will enable us to handle more metal and reach more customers who can benefit from our professional and transparent approach in this often less than clear industry.
