The Company has been built on the firm belief that waste stream should be minimised by maximising recycling with all benefits to society and environment being recognised. We believe that the recycling industry has finally come of age, and the general view of what is achieved in the industry is much more main stream and supported by the public.

The businesses have always had a strong tie to the Industry Association the BMRA and Anthony Brewster sits on the board of directors, taking a keen interest on the future of the recycling industry.
