More than 100 new jobs could be created after plans for a specialist recycling plant in Sunderland came a step closer to fruition.
Norwegian firm Quantafuel announced plans earlier this year for a string of UK plastics recycling plants, earmarking the Port of Sunderland to house the first. Now the plans have moved forward after Sunderland City Council officially agreed to give Quantafuel first option to develop the land.
Quantafuel Sunderland Ltd met with Coun Graeme Miller, leader of Sunderland City Council, to sign the option agreement on the proposed site, paving the way for it to create 100 jobs once it is open and operational, and around 200 through the construction phase.
