Politicians from around the world interested in averting climate change visited the food-grade plastic recycler Closed Loop Recycling in Dagenham, East London, to see how the facility is helping offset global warming.
Organised by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association UK Branch (CPA UK) as part of its international parliamentary conference, From Global to Local: Climate Change Post-Copenhagen, a delegation of 20 parliamentarians attended the plant and were given a first-hand insight into how the facility saves up to 52,500 tonnes of CO2 per annum by recycling 35,000 tonnes of PET and HDPE plastic bottles into high quality, food grade material suitable.
Closed Loop Recycling’s managing director, Chris Dow, said: “We were delighted to be asked to work with the CPA UK to host the tour and highlight to some of the world’s most influential environmental figures how closing the loop on recycling can have a huge impact on combating climate change.
“At Closed Loop Recycling we are proud that our state of the art facility is making such a positive contribution to the environment and the UK's transition to a low carbon economy.”
