The project will increase the facilityâs recycling capacity for UBC by 85 kilotonnes per year, equalling a growth of more than 100%.
The investment includes the construction of a new dross house, three new bag houses, and the installation of shredding, sorting, de-coating, and melting technologies. This enables the plant to recycle a larger volume and new types of aluminium scrap, and to increase operational efficiency.
The project is expected to begin commissioning in December 2026. Once complete, the facility will be able to recycle 100% of UBCs to be collected under the future UK deposit return scheme.
