Tyre Recycling Technology Successfully Tested in Wales

A new tyre recycling technology has been successfully tested in North Wales, leading to suggestions a new commercial-scale recycling plant will open next year. Used Tyre Distillation Research Ltd told letsrecycle.com it has opened a fully functioning pilot plant to demonstrate its new processing technology at Ruabon, near Wrexham. According to the report, plans to purchase equipment have already been made, which could scale the pilot plant at up to 17,000 tonnes annual capacity. There are also said to be hopes of developing further plants in the UK and abroad.
