Evening,

I work for a graphics company in Belfast and between offcuts, waste and the occasional misprinted run we can gather up a fair bit of rigid pvc and polyprop. in sheet form. At the minute smaller scraps are binned and larger sections gathered on pallets. I've spoken to a couple of plastic recycling companies in Northern Ireland to see if they would take these away but the response has been a definite no. We print directly onto the sheeting and the companies I've spoken to maintain any amount of ink contaminates the lot.
Anyone come across this problem in the past or have any alternative uses for the material? We've producing the best part of two full commercial/industrial bins a month.

Thanks in advance,
Mark
