Enviro’s Uddevalla, Sweden tyre recycling plant moves a step closer

Scandinavian Enviro Systems’ plans for a new tyre recycling plant in Uddevalla, Sweden have moved a step closer with consultation on the necessary plans for the site.

Earlier in the year, Enviro announced that it intended to submit a proposal for consultation documentation to the county administrative board in Västra Götaland ahead of a future permit application for the establishment of a new recycling plant for end-of-life vehicle tyres. The consultation pertained to the establishment of a new plant on an identified industrial site in the Lillesjö district of Uddevalla Municipality. The company is now supplementing the consultation to encompass an additional alternative location within the industrial district in question. A total of two industrial sites will thus be the subject of future consultation.

The documentation that has now been produced for consultation will be followed up by a formal application for permission to establish the plant. It is expected that the permit application will be submitted in the autumn of 2021. As Enviro previously announced, a final decision on establishment of a plant is also dependent on several other factors, such as securing access to end-of-life tyres and agreements covering deliveries of recovered materials.
