Quality Initiative Update

Towards the end of last year we identified  that end users were becoming less reluctant to pay for poorer quality material and also given the  that demand was softening that Chinese buyers would rather buy material from proven suppliers with consistant quality.

When we see the material which is generated from other European Countries the quality is much better than what is generated in the UK.

We felt the only way to improve matters was to put representative samples of material from our suppliers through our Materials Recycling Fascility and measure the results. Going on the premisis "what gets measured gets done" we would then convey this information to our suppliers and help them improve their quality. We are delighted to say we have done this with a number of customers and have both benefited as a result.
