Proposal for a pyrolysis plant facility in Wendover

We have received a proposal for an environmental permit to operate a small-scale thermal treatment plant. The plant would use technology currently seen in South Korea to operate a pyrolysis plant in the UK at an existing site in Wendover.

Pyrolysis is the process of heating of organic material (including plastics) in the absence of oxygen. At a pyrolysis plant, the process is used to break materials down so that they can be reused.

There are currently no pyrolysis plants in the UK.
