Hunter Boots

Hunter partnered with First Mile to offer a free-post recycling solution for their wellington boots. Customers posted back old boost for free to be recycled.

Returned boots were sent on to our processing partners, who shred and ground down materials before repurposing into playground and horse arena surfacing, kickboxing bags and floor fillers.



Bulldog Skincare

First Mile is the official recycling partner for Bulldog. Skincare packaging products are made from plastics that need specialist treatment. 

We collect and send packaging to undergo microwave-assisted pyrolysis, where plastics are turned back into oil which is then refined and used to produce new products. 



Cup Print 

First Mile provide solutions to recycle Cup Print's EarthCoating® certified-as-recyclable paper coffee cups. By ensuring the cups are source separated and recycled into new cups, they are kept within the circular economy

This means less waste and emissions from lanfill, and helps to save natural resources. 



Piccolo

First Mile helps Piccolo recycle their new polypropylene (PP) baby food pouch packaging. 

Once collected we send them for processing into new PP products.

First Mile and Piccolo are also exploring the potential of creating food-grade recycled PP that could be used in new Piccolo food pouches in future.
