Mason Pinder joins the Polypipe Civils & Green Urbanisation ‘Wash and Squash’ Initiative

Mason Pinder toolmakers are the latest member of Genuit Group to sign up to the Polypipe Civils and Green Urbanisation ‘Wash and Squash’ initiative, with the rest of Polypipe Building Products' sites soon to follow.

‘Highly Commended’ at the 2022 Business Green Leaders Awards, the initiative aims to encourage teams to recycle their household HDPE bottle waste in bins located around site, so that they can be recycled at the Polypipe Civils Polymer Processing Plant, ultimately supporting the businesses sustainable journey.

In 2021, Polypipe used 37,609 tonnes of recycled plastic of which 10,807 tonnes came from recyclable plastic bottles and containers. For context, it takes 102 milk bottles to manufacture 6m of their 100mm Rigidrain Pipe and 5067 to manufacture 6m of 900mm Rigidrain pipe.
