Biffa has completed a transaction to merge its UK PET recycling operations with Esterform - an established UK PET pre-form and bottle manufacturer.
This acquisition creates a sophisticated end-to-end circular PET packaging business ahead of the 2027 launch of the UK’s Deposit Return Scheme which is set to drive an increase in PET drinks bottles available for recycling.
Under the terms of the transaction, Biffa has completed the acquisition of Esterform following an initial investment in 2023.
Esterform’s manufacturing sites in West Yorkshire and Worcestershire take recycled PET pellets to make test tube-shaped pre-forms which are blow-moulded into bottles and containers for drinks, food, personal care and household products.
