URM acquired the Reuse group of companies in 2006. The Reuse group of companies is the largest processor of glass in the United Kingdom representing approximately 55% of the recycled glass market and 50% of the recycled plate market. Reuse designs, constructs and operates the most advanced glass beneficiation plants in the world and currently operates glass processing facilities in Knottingley, Doncaster, South Kirby and Harlow. In 2006 Reuse introduced new technology that includes “colour enhancing” equipment to increase the purity of clear glass from 97% to 99.5% pure. Other equipment removes pyro-ceramic material such as pyrex, metals, ceramic, and other contaminants.
