Work begins on £70m plastic recycling facility
Construction has begun on a £70m plastics sorting and recycling facility in Shrewsbury.
Veolia said the site would process 80,000 tonnes of mixed plastics every year, sourced from businesses and homes across the country.
It will be based at the former Stadco plant in Battlefield, close to Veolia’s existing household recycling facility, and is expected to be operational by 2026.
The firm said it would be first of its kind in the UK and employ more than 130 permanent staff, as well as supporting construction jobs in redeveloping the site.
