AXION RECYCLING
Looking for partner for mixed waste recycling projects / Cash grants available from Scottish government
Recycling plant designer and builder Axion Engineering (Bramhall / UK; www.axionconsulting.co.uk) is looking for a partner to help develop mixed plastics processing projects in Scotland. Doing so would make the partnership eligible to bid for a share of the GBP 5m (EUR 5.8m) capital grant programme announced by the Scottish government to help develop the country’s plastics processing infrastructure. The Zero Waste Scotland initiative (www.zerowastescotland.org.uk) aims to divert at least an additional 20,000 t of plastic waste from landfill each year. Currently only 15,000 t of Scotland’s annual 200,000 t of household plastic waste is collected for recycling.
“This scheme offers exciting potential to recover far more plastic waste for reuse in new products and to reduce the environmental impact and cost of its disposal,” explained Axion director Roger Morton. “Given our considerable experience in this sector and success with solutions for mixed plastics waste, we are very interested in partnering with or advising companies who want to pursue this valuable opportunity.”
Axion Engineering is part of a group that includes Axion Polymers, the UK’s leading reprocessor of plastics from WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) and other post-consumer waste streams, and Axion Engineering, which commercialises processes such as pyrolysis to convert waste biomass into biofuel.
