Our History

Our story is one of continual improvement and investment. What started as a small local business and we have grown to become the leading dedicated plasterboard recycler in the UK. 

Agricore was founded in 2011 to service the North of England and Scotland, and in 2021 acquired PRS, the leading plasterboard recycler in Southern England. Together those companies have become Plasterboard Recycling Group (PRG), with over 45 employees across 3 processing facilities.
