Reliable supply.
Sustainable performance.
Recycling sits at the core of Cherry Pipes. We don’t just use recycled plastic, we manage the full process ourselves, from waste recovery to pipe production.
That means more control, better quality, and greater confidence for procurement teams, project managers, and merchants alike.
Our Recycling Process
Built for performance. Backed by scale.
Sorting by polymer type
At our Nutts Corner facility, advanced sorting technology separates plastic by polymer type at speeds of 3.5 tonnes per hour, diverting over 420 tonnes a week from landfill. This stage ensures a cleaner, more reliable feedstock.
Shredding and washing
The sorted HDPE is transported to our Lurgan site, where it’s granulated into flake (around 50p size), then washed and dried to remove all contamination. Each tonne takes just 90 minutes to fully clean and prepare.
Melted and pelletised
The clean flake is then melted and turned into high-grade plastic pellets at up to 2 tonnes per hour. These pellets are fed directly into our extrusion lines, ensuring consistency and reducing dependency on third-party raw materials.
Contract Pelletising
Add efficiency to your recycling process.
With a total capacity of 27,000 tonnes annually, our recycling plants are among the most advanced on the island of Ireland. Following major investment – including a new high-output Erema repelletising line in 2023, our Lurgan site is equipped to handle significant volumes for both our own use and external partners
We offer contract pelletising services to recyclers, processors, and manufacturers across the UK and Ireland. You’ll benefit from:
• Guaranteed output quality
• Rapid turnaround times
• Trusted expertise in HDPE and other polymers
Whether you’re looking to expand your own recycling capability or secure a trusted pelletising partner, we’re here to help.
Carbon Footprint
With each recycled plastic pipe, we contribute to reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional manufacturing processes.
Without Compromise
We conserve resources and prioritise sustainability, ensuring our pipes maintain quality and performance without compromising the planet.
Exceeding Standards
Each recycled plastic pipe undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets and exceeds industry standards.
