Closed Loop Recycling has chosen North Wales as the location for its second plastics recycling plant. The new facility will take 50,000 t of water, milk and other soft drinks bottles for reprocessing into new food packaging. This waste might otherwise be exported or sent to landfill.
The new plant will create 50 jobs and will take significant volumes of its plastics from Wales and the North West. The project has received private equity funding from Foresight Group - a leading alternative asset manager, and public sector funding from the Welsh Assembly.
Closed Loop MD Chris Dow affirms: “The second plant will allow us to make a real impact to plastics recycling in North Wales and North West England. We are committed to an on-going investment programme to build closed loop recycling infrastructure in the UK.”
Solo Cup Europe, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Nampak and Logoplaste are among the brands that have already committed to buying the food grade plastics output from the second plant. Veolia Environmental Services is continuing its long term support for Closed Loop Recycling at Dagenham by supplying the plant with the recycled plastics bottles.
