(Plastemart) -- Coca-Cola
Enterprises Ltd (CCE) and ECO Plastics have formed a pioneering joint venture -
a first for the UK recycling and beverage industries, the new business will be
known as Continuum Recycling Limited. The name reflects the fact that the joint
venture company will establish a continuous process for re-processing plastic
bottles in Great Britain. Used plastic bottles will be recycled in Lincolnshire
and the high quality materials produced will be re-used in new Coca-Cola
bottles.
Jonathan Short, Managing Director of ECO Plastics said: “Today’s news is
important because it demonstrates again our commitment and progress towards
realising what will be a revolutionary project for the British recycling and
beverage industries. I’m delighted that we are on track to deliver against the
ambitious project timetable. “ECO Plastics’ plant is already the largest and
most sophisticated in Europe and we will now be able to increase capacity from
100,000 tpa to 140,000 tpa of mixed plastic bottles, just under 50% of the total
collected last year.”
