On Friday, two businesses within the STH Plastics Group were recognised at the Plastics Industry Awards. Adreco was shortlisted for Sustainable Product of the Year, and ISS received the award for UK Processor of the Year 2025.
These distinctions highlight the strength, commitment and capability of the teams working across both companies. Although the categories were very different, the message was the same: the consistency and care shown by our people sets the standard for who we are as a Group.
Across ISS in Bradford and Adreco Plastics in Milton Keynes, teams work every day with a level of professionalism that doesn’t seek attention. They focus on doing things properly, maintaining high standards and delivering reliably for customers. The recognition ISS received as Processor of the Year reflects this approach and represents the highest level of achievement in UK plastics processing in 2025.
Adreco Plastics also demonstrated meaningful innovation. Their shortlist for material sustainability follows several years of focus on genuine progress, including their collaboration with Westgate Labs to develop a fully compostable diagnostic container. This work reflects a commitment to innovation in an area where improvement is challenging but essential.
Together, the achievements of ISS and Adreco reaffirm the values that run throughout STH Plastics Group. Care, consistency, reliability and pride in the work are not slogans; they are the way our businesses operate. These values are visible every day, and they become especially clear when recognised on an industry stage.
We are proud of the teams at ISS and Adreco for the dedication they bring to their roles, the standards they uphold and the contribution they make to the Group as a whole. Their achievements at the Plastics Industry Awards are well deserved and reflect the quality and character of the people behind them.
