| Technology Brief |
Advanced recycling company ReNew ELP – based at Wilton Centre – has appointed Wood, the global consulting and engineering company, as its engineering, procurement and construction contractor on the multi-million pound project, and work on this innovative site will start later in the Spring.
The first phase will see the construction of one of four HydroPRS™ recycling lines, each able to process 20,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year. The remaining three lines will follow in quick succession.
On completion, the plant will recycle 80,000 tonnes of waste plastic, including packaging items such as flexible films, pots, tubs and trays which – until now – have been considered unrecyclable. They are currently incinerated, sent to landfill sites or end up in the environment as plastic pollution. It is estimated that each year around 8 million tonnes of plastic waste finds its way into the world’s oceans.
