LONDON (ICIS)–UK-headquartered recycler Viridor intends to close its Avonmouth mechanical recycling facility following a strategic review, the company announced in a press release on Tuesday.
The Avonmouth facility has a nameplate capacity of 80,000 tonnes/year of recycled polymers output concentrated on recycled polyolefins.
Viridor is conducting a separate review of its Rochester mechanical recycling plant.
The company attributed the decision to challenging market conditions, along with an absence of planned UK legislation to increase UK recycling rates.
