Supporting local initiatives

In April 2019, Hannah Blythyn, the Deputy Minister for the Welsh Government, launched a new £6.5m Circular Economy Fund with a televised visit to kp’s Crumlin facility. As a signatory to the UK Plastics Pact, our South Wales site uses up to 90% recycled content in products, some of which are sourced from Royden Bottle Recycling in Pontllanffraith. The WRAP-endorsed event was filmed and broadcast on local BBC news, providing an opportunity to raise awareness of plastics and recyclability. Thanks to our initial support, WRAP has requested to host its next conference at kp’s Welsh site, firmly cementing our role as a partner to achieve circular economy solutions.
