Machinery company to create up to 50 jobs

Up to 50 jobs will be created after a Portlaoise company secured a contract with a UK recycling firm.

Cynar is to build 10 machines to convert waste plastic into diesel fuel for SITA.

Each appliance will be able to handle 6,000 tonnes of waste.

Cynar CEO Michael Murray said that the jobs will not necessarily be in the midlands, as SITA plants will be built around the country.
