About Recycled White Goods

Solar panels for sustainable injection moulding

Great Central Plastics are UK plastics manufacturers that specialise in creating bespoke injection moulded products. AO has issued a fantastic method that utilises the material from scrapped white goods, that we can turn into new products

Before AO got involved, millions of fridges were disposed of incorrectly, resulting in the release of dangerous CFC gases that causes damage to the ozone layer. Damage caused to the ozone layer directly impacts climate change and harms our environment. As a UK plastic manufacturer, we have been eco-conscious for over a decade and continue to improve on aspects of our plastic moulding facility. The recycled fridge material is just one example of the many eco-friendly plastics that we offer to our clients for their plastic moulding projects.

In 2017 and 2018, the UK alone released over 400,00 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere from the improper disposal of fridges. This equates to the same CO2 level as 100,000 family cars! AO’s facility allows for white goods to be disposed of properly and turned into reusable material for plastic manufacturers to turn into more plastic moulding products.

As you can probably guess the material supplied by AO comes in white in its natural state which makes it perfect for digitally printing and creating some very unique eco-friendly merchandise for clients.
