NORWEGIAN TYRE RECYCLING START-UP CHOOSES UK FOR FIRST PLANT

摘要

Wastefront AS, a Norwegian tyre waste recycling company, has announced it will build its first plant in the UK. The recycling start-up, which aims to tackle the global environmental crisis in vehicle tyre waste, is currently assessing sites in the UK, with a view to commencing construction in the near future. Founded in Oslo in 2019 by Inge Berge (CEO), Christian Armand Hvamstad (CSO and Director), and Vegard Bringsjord (CFO), Wastefront converts disused tyres into useful commodities, including liquid hydrocarbons and carbon black, which can then be reutilised in processes such as alternative fuel or ground rubber manufacturing.
