	Smile Plastics Ltd Recycled plastic sheets In today's world there is a growing awareness of the urgent problem of waste management. Much of this waste is packaging material - metal, paper, glass and plastic, and after use it is thrown into our dustbins and transported to increasingly expensive landfill sites or incinerated. But a growing proportion is sorted and recycled. As a result, new materials are being devised and fabricated. Smile Plastics is committed to sourcing and developing innovative ideas and markets for recycled materials, concentrating on transforming plastics waste into multicoloured sheets. In 1994 we launched the company with sheets from recycled household plastic bottles. Since then we have made products based on crushed CDs, plastic water bottles, banknotes, and Dapple, scrap from our own factory. We now have sheets made from old mobile phones and even kids’ wellies.

Message from Colin Williamson

I set up Smile Plastics about 16 years ago to make and sell sheets made from recycled plastic. In 2009 I sold the company to Vitrathene Ltd which is where we made the sheets and they took over all the management of Smile Plastics in February 2009. Unfortunately, Vitrathene have ceased trading as from October 2011 so Smile Plastics, the company, reverts to me. I have now no manufacturing capacity (but a small and dwindling stock) but we are investigating the possibilities of setting up a new facility as soon as possible.
