Wood-based panel material manufacturer, EGGER UK Limited, has invested over GBP 15 million into recycling operations at its site in Hexham.

Employing the latest technology, the new recycling plant will segregate, clean, and chip waste wood that would otherwise be burnt or sent to landfill. Recycled material maintains the carbon stored in the wood and benefits the environment.

Thanks to the new, state-of-the-art processing facilities and the high quality recycled material processed, EGGER is able to increase the amount of recycled wood in each chipboard panel it produces.

Plans for the project started in 2019, with breaking ground taking place in October 2020. Led by Andrew Shepherd with EGGER’s dedicated UK project team, installation was supported by the wider EGGER Group, Cubby Construction, Mibex Ltd, Garwen Enterprises, and Parkgate. After commencing commissioning in August, chipboard production with increased recycled content is underway.
