Remondis Opens Hazardous Waste Recycling Plant in Merseyside, UK

Waste and recycling company, Remondis UK has opened a new £10 million hazardous waste facility in Prescot, Merseyside. According to David Winstanley, managing director at Remondis UK, the Carr Lane facility is the first new build, fully compliant SG 5.06 site in the UK, and has been developed using the principle of Best Available Technique (BAT) principle throughout, to deliver ‘total’ containment. Winstanley added that all waste is handled within purpose-built structures with full monitoring systems for air and liquid waste emissions, which ensures nothing leaves the site without being checked. The company said that the plant will be able to process up to 69,000 tonnes of materials such as paints, oils and laboratory smalls each year. Remondis added that it aims to return as much material as possible to the commercial cycle through closed-loop recycling, and that operates a complete chain of services; from logistics and sorting, via pre-treatment and preparation, to the marketing of the reclaimed raw materials and fuels. “The Carr Lane site can operate 24/7, 365 days per year, which means that, as well as managing standard waste streams, we can also handle emergency spillage operations,” commented Winstanley. The principal contractor on the facility, which is now fully operational, was Bolton-based Seddon Construction.
