Worksop, England – US-based MBA Polymers, Inc. (MBA), a global company delivering high performance plastic resin from plastic waste recovered from end-of-life durable goods, and European Metal Recycling Limited (EMR), one of the largest metal recyclers in the world, will locate their Joint Venture in Worksop, UK. According to the American company, the site for MBA Polymers UK, formerly used for glass production, is well accomodated to house the planned 80,000 tons per year plastic processing facility. The central location is seen as ideal for servicing sustainable plastics customers throughout the UK and greater Europe.
 
“MBA Polymers UK will utilize the combined technologies and resources of MBA and EMR to provide sustainable plastics to the UK and European automotive and durable goods markets,” MBA says. “The company will process shredder residue upgraded by EMR from its UK operations using MBA’s proprietary process to recover and separate and purify high-value plastics from this complex feed-stream. The result is high quality plastic that can be re-used in automotive and other durable goods applications. By diverting the raw material from landfills and utilizing only a fraction of the energy required to produce resin from petrochemicals, MBA Polymers UK plastics will contribute to a cleaner environment and brighter future.” 
 
The joint venture company is majority owned by MBA Polymers. East Midlands Development Agency assisted MBA Polymers UK to establish their processing facility at Sandy Lane in Worksop by providing a Grant for Business Investment (GBI) award of £1 million. This money has been used to purchase the site and specialised equipment.
