SITR Limited is one of the largest independent privately-owned Recycling Groups in the UK. They have moved their Head Office from Wilmslow to a new Hi-Tech Operational Centre at Midpoint 18 in Middlewich, Cheshire.
The new 22,000 sq ft building marks a significant development for the Group as it continues to develop new and innovative processes to divert waste products from traditional waste streams of landfill and incineration to green recycled uses.
A spokesman for the company confirmed that the new Operation Centre will be for the purpose of tyre recycling and compliments the Group’s other Approved Authorised Treatment Facility Centres in Cheshire, which are fully compliant with the WEEE Regulations and deal with the recycling of Electronic Waste i.e redundant computer, IT equipment, telephone systems etc.
Under a new EU Directive, tyres can no longer be land filled and high volume commercial solutions are desperately required. The local councils are welcoming the new service provision and are encouraging local businesses to use the new facility which should be fully operational within the next few weeks and should help relieve the national tyre dumping epidemic.
The equipment currently being installed is a bespoke solution using the latest technology with specialised machinery from the United States and Canada.
Steel, being an ever shrinking world commodity, can be extracted from the rubber tyres and recycled. The rubber from the tyres can then be reduced to crumbs in a matter of minutes which, in turn, can then be recycled into other products for use in children’s playgrounds, equestrian centres, new road surfaces etc. and, in some cases, a full recycling circle back into new tyres.
