UPM is to invest £17 million in the development of a materials recovery facility at its Shotton paper mill in the UK. The investment has been supported by the Welsh Assembly Government with a £1.7m Single Investment Fund grant.
Due to be completed by January 2011, the new facility will sort dry recyclables such as cartonboard, plastics bottles, newspapers, magazines and metals, and enable the mill to source high-quality paper.. Once up and running at full capacity, 160 jobs will be created in order to sort 200,000 tonnes of recyclable material, of which 120,000 tonnes will be newspapers and magazines.
UPM Shotton Paper annually recovers around 640,000 tonnes of newspapers and magazines. It is the largest newsprint mill in the UK, producing 100% recycled newsprint.
