plastics recycling
The facility near Bristol has the capacity to process 1.6 billion items of plastic and divert around 320,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste from landfill every year
The material-to-material molecular recycling plant would process up to 160,000 metric tonnes annually of hard-to-recycle plastic waste that is currently being incinerated
Repeats Group uses a mechanical process to transform post-commercial plastic waste into resin suitable for commercial and industrial applications
It will have the capacity to recycle the equivalent of an estimated one billion PET bottles a year
The projects are expected to help improve existing recycling processes that break plastics into chemical building blocks, which can then be used to make new products
The project will process animal fats from Europe and used cooking oil to produce sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel
It produces around 20,000 tonnes of polypropylene a year, made from recycled plastics for car manufacturers
