We care greatly about our environment and at both Protech and One51 we are pursuing a vision which will give us the capability to offer our customers a total life cycle for their products.
Once a product is manufactured, and sent to the end users, typically this is the end of life for that part, our vision is that through our sister companies in the waste collection and waste management side of one51, these products can be retrieved and then reprocessed and repelletised, and fed back into the value stream as viable useful materials.
The same is true for electronic/electrical equipment, with one51 we capture the vast majority of all WEEE recycling in Ireland & UK, the materials recovered are generally high grade, high performance plastics, which again can be recycled and used again.
Our mission statement around all this is: “Develop and acquire companies to expand the product offering and to utilise recycling opportunities to replace virgin raw material input with recycled plastic."
Recognise and adapt to the emerging emphasis on recycling end-of-life plastic products, which aligns with One51’s skill set in waste management and various recycling technologies.
The rationale behind this strategy recognises that plastic is cheap, light, adaptable, and recyclable, and the material of choice for many everyday needs”.
