Reef is a specialist plastics trading partner connecting UK supply with European processing demand. We source baled waste plastics from established UK suppliers and deliver directly to processing sites across Europe.

What that means in practice: you receive consistent, quality material on time, with logistics and paperwork handled on our end. No surprises, no chasing, and no admin burden for your team.

We've worked with processors across the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Belgium and beyond since 2014, and most of those relationships are still going. The reason is straightforward. We understand what matters: reliable monthly supply, material that meets your specifications, and a partner you can count on to deliver.

What you get when you buy from Reef

We handle the complexity so you do not have to. When you buy from Reef, you receive a single delivered price that covers everything: material, haulage, customs clearance and documentation. No hidden charges. No separate invoices for each service.

One delivered price

Your price per tonne includes the material, freight, export and import customs clearance, T1 transit documentation and delivery to your site. One price. One invoice. No surprises.

Customs and logistics managed

We work with proven logistics partners who specialise in cross-border shipments. Export customs, import customs clearance and T1 transit documents are all arranged on your behalf. If you prefer to manage your own import clearance, we support that too.

Quality checks before dispatch

We carry out regular bale breaks and sampling at supplier sites to verify material meets your specification. Loading photographs are taken for every shipment so we can check material quality and presentation before it reaches the port.

Full compliance documentation

Every shipment travels with the correct Annex VII documentation as required for waste plastic packaging. We hold EA accreditation, a waste carrier licence and signed Green List (Article 18) contracts with every customer. All documentation is available to you on request.

Clear communication with every load

You will have a direct point of contact at Reef for every delivery. We confirm pickup, provide updates in transit and let you know immediately if anything changes. If a truck is early or delayed, you hear from us first.

Material sourced to your spec

We do not sell one-size-fits-all. We source material to match your processing requirements and set expectations clearly with UK suppliers. This eliminates nasty surprises and keeps your lines running.

What our partners say

Reliability and communication

"We have worked with Reef for over three years now. What I appreciate most is that they do what they say. Loads arrive when expected, the material matches what was agreed, and if there is ever a change, they call us before we have to ask. That level of communication is not common in this industry."

Customs and quality

"Importing from the UK after Brexit created problems with other suppliers - delays at customs, missing documents, loads stuck at the border. With Reef, everything is prepared correctly before the truck leaves. The Annex VII is always in order, customs clearance is handled, and the material quality is consistent. It makes our planning much easier."
