Years as an established name

Your waste plastics properly placed.

Reef buys post-consumer and post-industrial plastic packaging from UK facilities and ships it to established European processors where it is converted back into raw material.

We are not a marketplace or a broker who disappears after the deal. We manage the full process from collection at your site through to delivery at the processor, including all logistics, customs and compliance documentation.

We have been doing this since 2014 and work with the same suppliers year after year because we keep things simple: fair pricing, reliable collections and payment you can count on. Your material goes to verified, licensed reprocessing facilities where it re-enters the supply chain as a raw material.

We know what matters to suppliers: getting paid, reliable collections and knowing your material ends up in the right place. Here is how we deliver on that.

Paid on time - every time

We agree payment terms upfront and stick to them. No chasing. No excuses. Our suppliers stay with us because they can rely on us financially.

Collections that happen as planned

We work with proven haulage partners to collect from your site on schedule. If anything changes, we tell you immediately. No missed pickups, no radio silence.

We manage all documentation including Annex VII forms, customs clearance and waste carrier records. Your paperwork is always in order and available when you need it.

Fair and transparent pricing

We agree pricing in advance and honour our commitments. Market conditions change, but how we treat our suppliers does not.

A long-term trading partner

We are looking for consistent, ongoing supply relationships. We invest time in understanding your operation and work with you to keep material moving month after month.

What our suppliers say

Payment and reliability

"We have supplied Reef for over four years. They pay on time without fail, collections happen when they say, and there is never any messing about. In this industry that is worth a lot. They are straightforward people to deal with and that is why we keep working with them."

Duty of care and trust

"Knowing where our material ends up matters to us. Reef showed us exactly where it goes, provided all the documentation and even invited us to visit the processor. That level of transparency gave us real confidence. We do not get that from other buyers."
