Plastic Park live Q&A

Protos clusters together innovative technologies in energy generation and resource management that are leading the way on the clean growth agenda.

Protos

We are proposing to build a £165m Plastic Park within Protos,
 on land to the north and south of Grinsome Road.
 Our project team will be on hand to answer questions about the proposals. Two facilities at the Plastic Park have already received planning consent:<ul><li>A waste plastic to hydrogen facility
 which will take end of life plastic
 and use it to generate hydrogen
 for use as a clean fuel in cars,
 buses and HGVs, helping to
 improve local air quality.</li><li>A Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) recycling facility which will take food and beverage
 packaging, such as plastic
 bottles, and recycle them for
 use in making new packaging
 products.</li></ul>We are proposing
 to develop:
<ul><li>A Materials Recycling Facility (MRF):
 which will separate out up to 75,000
 tonnes of dry mixed recyclable
 materials (such as glass, paper, cans
 and card) into different waste streams
 and sent for recycling.
</li><li>Plastics Recycling Facility One (PRF1):
 plastic from the MRF and mixed
 plastics arriving pre-sorted to the site
 will be separated into different plastic
 types. The separated plastic will either
 go to PRF2 or the PET recycling plant
 already consented at Protos. PRF1 will
 treat up to 200,000 tonnes of plastic.
</li><li>Plastics Recycling Facility Two (PRF2):
 up to 90,000 tonnes of pre-sorted
 plastic from PRF1 which will be washed
 and processed into flaked plastic
 which can be used to make new
 plastic products, such as food
 packaging or drinks bottles.
</li><li>Polymer Laminate Recycling Facility:
 up to 2,500 tonnes of plastic (such as
 crisp packets and baby food pouches)
 will be heated, the plastic will break
 down into an oil for reuse in
 manufacturing new products with
 the aluminum recovered for recycling.
</li><li>Hydrogen refuelling station:
 taking hydrogen from the consented
 plastic to hydrogen facility to supply
 up to 1000kg of hydrogen per day
 to vehicles, sufficient to fuel
 approximately 20 HGVs from outside
 Protos and a similar number of internal
 HGV movements that will be
 servicing operations within Protos.</li></ul>
