Recycling and reprocessing company, Timberpak Limited (part of Egger Group), has unveiled its new site in Leeds, the UK, following a multi-million pound investment into the six acre site on Cross Green Industrial Estate.
The site will process 150,000 tonnes of recycled material per year, with potential for this to increase by 50% as the demand for wood based recycled material continues. Waste wood sourced by Timberpak Limited is used by Egger (UK) Limited to produce carbon negative chipboard panels at its production sites in Hexham, Northumberland and Barony, East Ayrshire.
Perfectly located on the edge of Leeds, the new site offers the best wood recycling facilities in the UK. The bespoke loading pit offers safe and efficient loading, and a streamlined layout of the shredders, picking stations, one way traffic management system and stock system will reduce handling time.
Four new jobs will be created on the picking line, and this is set to increase in parallel with demand for recycled wood. Currently, Timberpak employs 90 people with 40% of them based at the existing Leeds site.
The state-of-the-art site features the latest recycling technology, including two picking lines, a slow speed electric shredder, and a stockpiling system. Two new weighbridges and a loading bay have been installed, and weight tickets and delivery documents will be paperless.
