About Capital Valley Plastics
We are one of the leading manufacturers of recycled Damp Proof membranes and Courses which is used to prevent moisture from entering a new building. 90% of our products are made from 100% recycled Polythene which is collected from various sources locally and across the UK. We have started a plastic collection service in which we set up local businesses, schools and organisations as collection points, provide them with a free collection service, the education needed about the plastic we accept and do not, provide signage, leaflets and bags to start collecting. We call this a closed loop product as the membrane stays in the building for the lifetime and doesn’t go back into the environment.
