Established in 1994, Container Components Europe (CCE), part of the Impact Environmental Group (IEG), and home of the famous Duraflex lid, has surpassed several trading milestones as it celebrates thirty years in business.
Over the last three decades, CCE has developed, manufactured and supplied more than 6 million standard and bespoke container lid solutions for the global waste and recycling markets, supporting over 736 clients to date.
Significantly, in 2006 CCE launched its award-winning Recycling Scheme which has seen the business recycle in excess of half a millioncontainer lids to date. Since establishing the pioneering environmental initiative, CCE, together with its customers who have signed up to the groundbreaking programme, have recycled a highly impressive 502,195 container lids, taking in the old parts and remanufacturing them as new. The lids go on an impressive journey before emerging as a newly constructed, and fully recycled lid.
