Politicians visit Woolwich to see UK's first shopping bag and plastic film recycling plant

摘要

The Board of PlasRecycle hosted Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Edward Davey MP, and Baroness Sarah Ludford, Liberal Democrat MEP for London who were given a tour of PlasRecycle's new recycling facility in Woolwich, South East London. The facility, which was financed by £10.7 million provided by Foresight Group, LWARB, WRAP and private investors, uses a process developed by PlasRecycle. The plant can reprocess 20,000 tonnes per annum of used shopping bags and plastic films, equivalent to one third of all of the 8 billion so-called "single-use" carrier bags handed out by supermarkets every year in the UK.
