Company Values
We have company values centred around providing the best possible service to suppliers and customers based on integrity, honesty, knowledge & quality. We aim to stand out through service excellence and compliance.
To deliver our service consistently & efficiently, we embrace increasing use of technology and systems. We also look for ways to do things better on a continual basis, including in the personal development of our team.
We also encourage and welcome engagement with regulators in an open and transparent way, and want to be a point of reference for “how to do it right”.
To build and develop sustainable relationships with suppliers and customers, we promote open and honest communication - providing positive feedback as well as areas for improvement - at the loading site, at the delivery site and within Oatley’s own systems.
Our Services
Suppliers
We purchase plastics, fibre, metals and glass products from UK sites, helping suppliers meet quality standards and paying premium prices for products. Our compliance system gives suppliers peace of mind that their products are recycled at licenced reprocessors.
Customers
From our network of UK suppliers, we procure specific products and qualities for our customers – whether they are based in the UK, mainland Europe or further afield in India, USA or the Far East. Our inspection processes ensure that customers have confidence that they will receive the products and quality that they ordered.
Logistics & Export Documentation Services
Some suppliers and customers prefer to deal direct with each other, but need specialist assistance on transport and shipping, arranging export documentation, loading and pre-loading inspections and environmental compliance.
Products We Trade
Plastic
We handle a wide range of baled plastic bottle and film grades, bulk bags, polystyrene and specification regrinds and pellets, connecting UK suppliers with domestic and overseas customers.
Fibre
Whether its bulk quantities of cardboard and mixed papers, or more specialist grades such as cores, kraft sacks, or tissue scrap, we can give you a secure solution for your buying or selling needs.
Glass & Metals
We handle various grades and qualities of sorted steel and aluminium cans from household recycling, as well as glass from post-industrial and post-consumer sources.
