New waste facility will see zero landfill
A NEW recycling facility capable of processing 500,000 tons of waste is coming to Leeds next month.
LPR Leeds Recycling is set to open up the new venture which will recycle all the waste it receives.
The Stourton-based business pledges that no waste will go to landfill.
And more jobs will be created thanks to the new technology.
The Super Materials Recycling Facility will recycle 100 per cent of waste by processing and recycling all grades of paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, glass, wood, textiles, bricks and rubble with any green, food or organic waste used for composting.
The company can recycle polystyrene through briquetting and more demanding items such as mattresses by dismantling them into different waste materials by hand.
LPR offers a collection and recycling service for small and large businesses.
The firm utilises more than 80 vehicles including bin trucks and large skip vehicles to the whole of Yorkshire and employs around 120 local people.
The new recycling facility will lead to 30 new jobs.
Managing director Jamie Todd said: “We have constantly invested in recycling technology, staff training and new systems to reach our goal of a zero landfill Super MRF with a collection service and recycling solutions to meet the demand from small and large blue chip companies.
“Clients come to us for three reasons. The first is to save money in these difficult times, the second is to recycle 100 per cent of their waste and the third is to reduce their carbon footprint. We do all the above and provide a service to match with our investment in recycling vehicles and transport technology. All our vehicles are satellite tracked and movements are constantly updated and monitored to reduce our carbon footprint.”
