SDC Recycles EPS

SDC, a division supplying car parts to the Honda factory in Swindon has selected a Next-tec recycling system to handle all the used EPS packaging that comes into the site.

The new equipment (a PolyCycleTM P1000 Pre-breaker, an anti-static polypropylene Hopper with Steel Stand and a PolyCycleTM D300) will process approximately 200 tons of EPS. SDC also plans to take in additional material from companies located close by and from its own suppliers.

Mark Smith, Sales and Marketing Director of Next-tec Ltd, said: “We are delighted that our process was chosen and we are confident that SDC will see a marked improvement in their waste management processes as a result.

“We were judged on a wide range of criteria and against extremely stiff competition. SDC looked at various other methods, including melting machines, but our system scored high for environmental and health and safety reasons.

“The Next-tec equipment also competed well on cost and revenue. Proving that waste management can be good for business as well as the environment, adds Mark.”
