Southampton recycling plant opened by Olympic medallist

21 October 2009

FORMER Olympic silver medallist Roger Black has opened a new recycling facility in Southampton.

The £15 million plant is the first plant at which SCA Recycling (SCA), which originally specialised in paper, will recycle a range of materials.

It is estimated that the facility will sort through 200,000 tones of waste each year and recycle materials such as plastic, metal and glass.

Mr Black said the plant would provide better recycling opportunities in southern England. While setting new standards in recycling, SCA would also create new jobs.

The new plant can run for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It uses infra-red sorting technology which can distinguish between many different kinds of materials, including types of plastics.

Currently it is processing waste from London and Surrey, while tendering for contracts.

SCA managing director Ken Stevens said he was excited about branching out into multiple materials recycling and he looked forward to working with new clients as well as existing ones.
