Plastic Recycling
Plastic recycling with MHM UK LTD helps businesses turn bulky, low-density plastic waste into dense, sellable bales. Our balers handle plastic film, PET bottles, HDPE containers, shrink wrap, and mixed plastic packaging—compressing loose plastic into uniform bales that are easy to store, transport, and sell to recyclers.
Plastic is one of the most challenging waste streams to manage due to its high volume-to-weight ratio. Without compaction, loose plastic takes up enormous amounts of space and is expensive to dispose of. Baling solves this by reducing volume by up to 90%, creating a recyclable commodity and cutting disposal costs.
From vertical balers for smaller operations to semi-automatic balers for medium to large volumes, every MHM plastic recycling baler is manufactured in the UK to exacting quality standards.

Plastic Recycling FAQs
Our balers can handle various plastic types, but for maximum recycling value we recommend baling different plastic types separately—for example, PET separate from film, and HDPE separate from shrink wrap. This allows each bale to be sold to a specialist recycler at the best price.
Our balers handle plastic film, PET bottles, HDPE containers, shrink wrap, and mixed plastic packaging. For high-volume continuous plastic waste, a semi-automatic baler offers the highest throughput. Contact us to discuss your specific plastic waste streams.
For maximum recycling value, plastic should be clean and free from food contamination. Dirty or contaminated plastic may still be baled but will fetch a lower price from recyclers. We can advise on best practices for preparing your plastic waste.
