We bought four of these storage boxes at Asda

We need to cut them up and glue various pieces together for a bit of a
project, so my question is, does anyone know what plastic these are
made from so that we can get the correct glue for the job?

You didn't ask the person at the checkout? :-)
I have bought many of these in the past, I have never thought about
glue, but the waxy feel to the thing suggests there may be problems.
A glue gun might be the best bet.
One thing that works extremely well on those boxes is duct tape. It
may not lend itself to complex construction techniques, but for
repairs I have found it outstanding.
Incidentally I bought a very large number of these over the years for
a shed and garage storage system. Not sure if you find the info
useful, but in the long term these boxes get quite brittle and are
easily broken.
The coloured ones outlast the clear ones, why I'm not sure because
there is no light in the shed or garage on a day to day basis.
