T Berryman & Sons Ltd, has been purchased from its owner NexCycle by Reuse Collections Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reuse Glass UK Ltd. The new company will continue to trade as Berryman from its existing premises in South Kirby, Dagenham and Birmingham and from Motherwell in Scotland. Reuse Glass UK operates one of Europe's most modern cullet treatment plants in Knottingley, which currently supplies its full capacity of 200,000 tonnes on a long term contract to Rockware Glass. The acquisition creates a highly efficient and integrated glass recycling group with both collection and processing capabilities, at a time when the UK government is significantly increasing packaging waste recovery targets. Berryman will be given the resources to increase waste glass collection services throughout the UK, not only to supply the traditional glass container industry, but also the alternative markets they have developed in recent years.
