• Herr Finally Here – Hartleif Officially Presses Button To Open Recycling Plant

Veka Group CEO Herr Andreas Hartleif has officially opened Veka Recycling’s £15 million recycling plant at Wellingborough – 15 months after the facility came fully on-stream. He was delayed by the pandemic.

With the rules finally dropped for travel to the UK, Hartleif made the trip to inspect the Northamptonshire site, the third to be built by Veka since 1993 and Europe’s most advanced. He was accompanied by Norburt Bruns, Veka Recycling Group Chairman and UK MD Simon Scholes and Operations Director Edward Lipinski-Barltrop.

Hartleif told staff that the UK remained one of the company’s most significant markets: “As one of the World’s largest users of PVC-U the UK remains a key market for Veka Group. As such it is important for UK to be as self-sufficient as possible and now served by a recycling facility that allows the full processing of PVC-U without the need for transport overseas.”

The Wellingborough plant can process over 35,000 tonnes of PVC-U into high-quality recycled PVC-U pellet, increasing volumes of which are now used in brand new window and door profiles, in addition to established high volume users including products for the electrical and HVAC industries.
