Equipment installed on-site includes the latest degassing, shredding, and recycling technologies, ensuring that over 98% of the fridges' components will be recovered for further processing. By doing so, the Enva facility will create significant customer value and plays an important role in supporting the development of a more circular Scottish economy.
Commenting on the opening, Enva’s Managing Director, Barry Phillips, said: “This facility represents another outstanding piece of Scottish recycling infrastructure and will create valuable jobs for the local community. It will play a crucial role in enhancing the availability of high-quality recyclable materials, thus reducing pressure on virgin resources and supporting the development of a circular economy. While it will eliminate the need to transport waste fridges and SDA long distances for processing outside the country, it will also provide valuable continuity and resilience capacity for other parts of the UK if needed.”
Enva's commitment to operational excellence includes a dedication to attaining the independently audited WEEELABEX standard, which is already in place at the Company’s e-Waste facilities in Northern Ireland and England
