Paper Round collects clear PET and cloudy HDPE plastic bottles. These are separated by specialist equipment to enable separate recycling.

PET plastic bottles are washed and flaked. Flakes can be spun into fibres for clothing or carpets. Recycled PET is also being used to make bottles, closing the recycling loop.

HDPE plastic is made back into plastic containers.

Other remaining sundry plastics tend to go into a mixed plastic grade. This is converted into things like drain pipes and 'Plaswood', a wood substitute used to make outdoor furniture and pallets.
