Greenstar starts work on London's largest Materials Recycling Facility (MRF)

 

NTR plc, the international renewable energy group, has announced that equipment installation has begun at Greenstar Atlas, London’s newest and largest materials recycling facility (MRF).

The facility will bring critically-needed capacity for processing domestic and commercial dry recyclables to the capital and strengthen Greenstar’s footprint in the south east of the country. 

Licensed to process up to 250,000 tonnes of recyclables per year - as well as handling a further 250,000 tonnes through its waste transfer station, Atlas is designed for high volume, high speed processing to consistently high quality output standards. 

Greenstar has already secured local authority contracts for processing over 100,000 tonnes of domestic recyclables annually and plans to win commercial recyclable collection and processing contracts.

Greenstar UK CEO Ian Wakelin said the construction programme should mean Atlas starts full operation in the spring. “The high speed processing capacity and output quality for Atlas will be strategically important for Greenstar and for local authorities in the capital and the south east.”
