The Knowaste recycling plant at Tyseley, Birmingham, has signed a deal with SmallPlanet building products that will see plastics recovered from nappies turned into plastic cladding, tiles and other building products. The £12 million facility, which is due to be completed in spring 2010, will be capable of annually processing 36,000 tonnes of nappies.“
There is a real opportunity to open up a new market in construction, offering sustainable products that come with clear benefits for the building and housing sector, which are increasingly being asked to improve sustainability credentials,” said Bill Knoupe, general manager of SmallPlanet Building Products.
The Tyseley plant is the first of four UK plants planned by Knowaste. Aside from recycling nappies and personal care products, it will also convert organic waste into methane.
