Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “2025 was a positive year for the group, with strong demand for reclaimed material and a steady supply of feedstock. The year saw the completion of the wash plant relocation project from South Wales to Swinton, allowing the commencement of production of PET flake at our Swinton site.”
- “With the additional investment in plant and machinery that we have made during 2025, and the anticipated Deposit Return Scheme due to take effect in 2027, we are now positioned to benefit from the expected improvements in supply and quality of feedstock, which should give us opportunity for future growth.”
- “The directors are pleased with the results for the year and are confident that the work undertaken throughout 2024/25, to consolidate our activities at our Swinton site, will provide ongoing operational efficiencies for the business and a platform for growth.”
