We have supported successful plastic film collection trials from households in both Swansea and the Vale of Glamorgan, covering around 38,000 homes. The trials have been designed to provide Local Authorities with valuable data and operational information to support our commitment to the Wales-wide roll out of flexible successful plastic collections by April 2027, as reflected within the 2025 update of the Welsh Government’s Collection Blueprint.
In addition to the partnership work with Local Authorities on flexible plastic film collections, we have supported the £45 million investment by JayPlas in a new plastic recycling plant in Swansea, which includes a flexible packaging wash and reprocessing plant. This investment will more than double Wales’ plastic reprocessing capacity, processing at least 100,000 tonnes of flexible and rigid plastics a year and creating over 100 new jobs at the former Toyoda Gosei factory site, boosting the circular economy in Wales.
