London Hilton Hotel, Mayfair, July 14th 2011
Mark Cockings, Managing Director of Qurius UK, was delighted to present Closed Loop Recycling with the Qurius sponsored Recycling and Waste Management Business of the Year Award at the National Recycling Awards on July 14th.
In an exclusive ceremony at the Grand Ballroom in Mayfair’s London Hilton hotel, Qurius UK sponsored the Recycling and Waste Management Business of the year, which was open to any company in the UK that processes, collects or sorts materials for recycling, re-use or energy recovery. The winner was Closed Loop Recycling, who narrowly beat the other nominees, which included AnyJunk, G&P Batteries, Henry Orchid and Sons, The William Tracey Group and Wastebeater.
Andrea Lockerbie, acting editor, MRW commented on the award: 'Closed Loop Recycling has defined the market, continued to innovate and has contributed an enormous amount of work to the industry. A well deserved award.'
Closed Loop Recycling, was the first facility in the world to recycle both PET and HDPE plastic bottles into food grade material. Prior to the award, it announced earlier this month that it had enjoyed record growth in quarter one of 2011, now recycling over 3.5 million bottles per day, equal to a 22% increase in throughput.
'The award is a fantastic justification of all the hard work that ourselves and all the UK recyclers have put in to create a strong and viable industry. I especially want to thank the whole team in East London, our Australian founder Rob Pascoe and investment partners Foresight Group,' comments Chris Dow, Closed Loop Recycling's managing director. 'It also reflects the ongoing vision of brands such as M&S, Nampak, Solo Cup and Britvic who have been our customers and partners over the years. We are looking to build on this success with our expansion plans and increased capacity.'
As sponsor, Mark Cockings was invited to attend the event and to present the award. He commented, “This is a very high profile event, with many of the key players in the industry in attendance. I was personally proud to be invited to present the award and I again pass on my congratulations to the winner and also the nominees in this strongly fought category. I believe it is important for Qurius to improve its overall profile in the industry so that companies can see we are fully committed to the market and have a long term strategic target to provide compelling systems that can help RWM companies to run more efficient, productive and profitable businesses.”
