ALL METAL

The breakthrough in technology comes as a result of significant invest in Irelands’ first Plastic Recycling facility. This purpose built facility has elements of the plant 4 metres below ground level and other areas 13 metres above ground. It is one of the largest plastic recovery facilities in Europe, with 124 conveyors, 15 optical separators, 5 magnets and eddy current separators, 5 large mechanical screens, 2 balers and 8 storage bunkers in addition to other smaller pieces of equipment. The plant itself is fully automated and controlled from a central station and is capable of processing over 70,000 tons of mixed plastic packaging per year.

These systems can accurately identify and segregate various types of plastics, ensuring optimal recycling outcomes.

In addition to the environmental benefits, the integration of advanced recycling technologies will also create new economic opportunities, leading to the creation of jobs and a boost to the local economy.
