Recycling
recovering a lot more recyclates then we were previously, which means we are diverting a great deal more waste from incineration. We are also very happy with the purity rates we are seeing, with the plant currently running at 97.5% purity in materials being processed’’.
Going forward Amgen Cymru should benefit from being able to sell the sorted material at a higher price, due to the purity levels being offered by the plant. As the plant also offers a lot higher throughput, it allows them to bring a lot more material in and move on more sorted materials.
Tom Rutherford, Project and Applications Manager at Blue Southern, adds his thoughts on the project with Amgen Cymru: ‘’ It has been a pleasure to work with Ian McAlister of Amgen on this project with his relentless drive and passion for the perfect plant for his application. Through a continuous partnership with the client myself and blue southern have had the pleasure of delivering a one of a kind automated plant which is already surpassing all of our expectations.
This is thanks to all the suppliers involved who came together as a team to deliver an engineering solution of unparalleled performance’’.
