Nantwich, U.K.-based Recycling UK Ltd. has acquired Oswestry Waste Paper Ltd., headquartered in Shropshire, U.K. Oswestry collects and recycles more than 30,000 metric tons per year of recovered fiber, plastic and other recyclables. In addition to a facility in Shropshire, Oswestry operates facilities in Cheshire, North and Mid Wales and The West Midlands.
Recycling UK, which started in 1998 as Fibre Recycling UK Ltd., sold more than 250,000 metric tons of recyclables in 2011. The company changed its name to Recycling UK Ltd. in 2005.
In making the acquisition, Neil Clarke, Recycling UK’s managing director, says, “Although we are traditionally a trading company, in recent years we have seen a large growth in the source materials that we handle and we have tried to feed such into processors that we buy from throughout the U.K. and Ireland.
