We are now finalists for Sustainability Business of the Year after the judges saw how PlasLOC+ removes crude steel and CO2 from everyday operations without any loss in performance.

More interviews in January and the final decision in February.
Thank you to everyone supporting this shift to cleaner, smarter materials.

CBAM is about to put a price on the carbon inside your steel wire.
Most people are still treating it like extra paperwork.

From January 2026 in the EU and January 2027 in the UK, the CO₂ in imported steel will start to show up directly in what you pay. Steel baling wire is one of the products most exposed.

Steel wire sits at roughly 1.9–2.2 tonnes of CO₂ per wire draw.
Once you multiply that by your annual volumes and link it to CBAM prices, cheap steel does not look cheap any more.

PlasLOC+ was built to remove that problem at source.
Made from recycled plastic. Near-zero embedded carbon.
It avoids the CBAM exposure that sits in steel wire.

In 60 days, customers who switched from steel wire to PlasLOC+ removed 1501 tonnes of CO₂ from their operations.
No offsets. No add ons. Just a different wire doing the same job.

If you are using steel wire today and want to see what CBAM will do to your costs, send us a message and the DRB team will walk you through it.

Most sustainability teams never audit it!
Most operators never question the CO₂ cost of their baling wire.

That is why steel wire keeps inflating Scope 3 in the background of your reporting.

When customers replaced steel wire with PlasLOC+. Made from 100 percent recycled plastic. The impact was immediate.

Two months of use.
1501 tonnes of CO₂ removed.
Same equipment. Same operators. Different footprint.

PlasLOC+ is recognised by Forbes Trailblazers 2025 and Environment 100 as a Business Pioneer and Sustainability innovator, with further sustainability awards in progress.

The results are not theoretical. They are measured through real purchasing data every month.

If you are still tying bales with steel. You are paying a CO₂ premium you do not need to pay.

If one line in your bill of materials could cut a significant chunk of your Scope 3. Would you keep ignoring it?

Comment CO₂ and we will show you the reduction your sites could make by switching to PlasLOC+.

Or message us privately for a direct CO₂ audit on your current wire specification.

Then your baler is quietly blowing up your CO₂ report.
Most recyclers track trucks, energy, maybe even staff travel.
Almost nobody tracks the carbon cost of the wire that touches every single bale.

At DRB we decided to flip that.
PlasLOC+ is baling wire made from waste plastic, designed to replace steel in the press without changing how you run the line.

Same presses, same operators, same bales.
Different carbon story.

Our customers use PlasLOC+ to tackle one simple problem.
Too much hidden CO₂ in every tonne they ship out.

Because when you stop feeding your balers with virgin steel and start feeding them with recycled plastic.
You are not just cleaning up material in the cage.
You are cleaning up the footprint of your whole outbound flow.

PlasLOC+ is already running on lines across the UK, EU, Norway and Iceland with one goal.
Baling waste made from waste, not from ore.

If you want to know what that would look like on your site.
Send us three numbers in a message.
☑️ Monthly tonnes baled
☑️ Average bales per tonne
☑️ Current wire type and reel weight

We will show you the CO₂ impact of doing nothing except swapping the wire.
