Closed Loop Recycling Facility Nearing Completion

Closed Loop Recycling (www.closedlooprecycling.co.uk) is now officially occupying the building in East London that will house the UK´s first combined food-grade PET and HDPE recycling facility.

Plant and equipment are now being received at the building with a view to a launch in March 2008.

Managing Director Chris Dow said: "Interest from manufacturers and retailers to use British post consumer plastic in their products has been overwhelming. There is an increased awareness that if we are to create a closed loop plastic waste economy we should use recycled plastic that has been created from the UK waste stream.

We are totally focused on creating centres of excellence for recycling here in London and at all future facilities."

The facility will consume 35,000 tonnes of post consumer mixed plastic waste and will be the first of several such facilities constructed by Closed Loop Recycling over the next five years.

Closed Loop has developed long term relationships with Veolia Environmental Services for the supply of plastic waste and Nampak Plastics, the UK´s largest producer of HDPE milk bottles, to use recycled food-grade HDPE produced by Closed Loop.

The project has been supported by numerous partners including Marks and Spencer, WRAP and the Mayor of London.
