As previously announced, the application pertained to the establishment of a recycling plant on an industrial site in the Lillesjö district of Uddevalla Municipality. The facility will have the capacity to process up to 60,000 tonnes per year, which would suffice for the recycling of more than 60 percent of Sweden’s total annual volume of end-of-life tyres. The environmental permit application for the facility was filed in mid-November of last year.
“Our application has been handled swiftly, which is proof that we have established a solid process for preparing supporting documentation for environmental permit applications. Our ability to do this is essential for our continued expansion, since efficient permit processes are a critical success factor,” says Thomas Sörensson, CEO of Enviro.
A final decision on establishment of the new plant is dependent on several factors, such as securing access to end-of-life tyres and agreements covering deliveries of recovered materials.
