Enval, which has developed a method for recycling laminated plastic and aluminum packaging, is opening its first processing facility at Alconbury.
The company, backed by Nestlé, Kraft Foods and Mondelez International, will install its microwave induced pyrolysis (MIP) system in order to recover materials from foil-laminated flexible packaging.
Enval business development director David Boorman said Enval is happy to commence its first commercial scale plant at the Enterprise Zone at Alconbury.
"We know of many companies within the resource recycling sector that have found the planning process difficult to navigate. Enval's experience, with the support and expertise offered by our local authority partners and the Enterprise Zone itself, has been an extremely positive one," Boorman said.
Enval was originally formed as a spin-out from the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
