23 jobs will be created when a recycling company which has diverted more than 250,000 tonnes of plastic waste from landfill opens its new site in Wimblington.

The new building, which opens in September, is said to help "accelerate the company’s ability to produce 100,000 tonnes of recycled plastics for its customers by 2030".

The company, which has been operating for over 10 years, delivers sustainable recycled plastics with carbon savings up to 85%.

Paul Mayhew, general manager at MBA Polymers UK, said: "We are delighted to announce our new facility in Cambridgeshire as the next exciting chapter in MBA Polymers UK’s story.  

“Manufacturers know all too well that changes in regulations, consumer behaviour and the impact on the environment, means that increasing recycled content of products and creating circular products is now essential. 

“The establishment of our fourth facility will significantly amplify our recycling capacities by 35%, diverting tonnes of plastics waste from landfill and providing high-quality recycled polymers back into the circular economy.

“We are dedicated to working with our customers to help them reach their sustainability goals, whilst keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum, in line with our ambitious commitment to become a net-zero business by 2040.” 

MBA Polymers UK supplies a range of durable plastics, including recycled polypropene (rPP), polyethylene (rPE), polystyrene (rPS), and ABS to sectors such as electronics, vehicle manufacturing, and logistics management.
