Veolia invests in UK plastic recycling
|
Resource management leader Veolia UK, has demonstrated its strategic commitment to the plastics economy by acquiring manufacturing assets in East London which will unlock the complete supply chain for manufacturing plastic bottles from recycled material. Veolia will now be able to offer the complete range of services from collection of raw feedstock (waste plastic bottles) direct from people’s homes or businesses, through all the recycling steps, and back to food grade pellets ready to be blown into new plastic milk bottles. Advert The move will boost the UK’s domestic recycling capability, create 30 permanent jobs and enable Veolia to make and sell a high value product from the 200 million plastic milk bottles it collects annually.
Currently around 13 billion soft drinks, water and milk bottles are discarded each year and globally the environmental costs are on the increase. By recycling bottles to produce new food-grade quality plastic, Veolia will make plastic more sustainable and maintain lower costs for local councils. The new business will produce around 10,000 tonnes of high quality food grade HDPE pellets annually. More information: www.veolia.com |
