Why would someone doing the same, want to tell you?
Do you know anything at all about it?
hmm... Talk to your local council. They'll have an environmental officer who can tell you all you need to know... but maybe don't tell them about what your plans are, yet.
They'll be able to give you a list of all approved (by them) enviro/recycling services.
Good luck Trojan.

As I said... why's anyone going to help you.
It's niche... and there's money in it (not a lot) - but I know two and they have plans for UK domination.
