Recycling company Wastefront AS has signed an agreement that paves the way for the building of a £100m tyre recycling plant in Sunderland.
The agreement with Gateway Resources guarantees supply of end-of-life-tyres (ELTs) for Wastefront’s Port of Sunderland plant, which was given planning permission in January and should be operational by 2024.
Once at full capacity, the plant will be able to process 80,000 tonnes of used tyres every year.
