Automated recycling plant opens

FIFTY jobs have been created through the €10 million investment in Ireland’s first automated Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plant.

EU Commissioner for the Environment Stavros Dimas was in Dublin yesterday for the launch of TechRec facility at Park West, Dublin. Capacity at the plant is 30,000 tonnes of equipment.

It will employ up to 50 people and market its recycling service to waste companies nationwide.
