Avondale opens £20m recycling and biofuel plant

A NEW £20 million re-cycling plant will create 70 jobs and process 200,000 tonnes of waste a year when it is fully operational.

Avondale Environmental said 60% of the waste it receives will be recycled or compacted into a compost-like dry fuel which can then be turned into energy.

The company is hiring 40 staff initially but that will increase to 70 within the first 12 months as an extra shift pattern is added.
