Hahn Plastics, a Germany-based manufacturer of products from mixed plastic waste, has invested in a production and warehousing facility at Salford, the UK.
The UK operation will stock, distribute and manufacture a range of Hahn's recycled plastic products for agriculture, industry and construction, according to the firm.
Hahn's UK sales and marketing director, Paul Harris, said: “As the demands towards sustainable materials in construction go from strength to strength, the local investment in stock, production facilities and jobs means that we are best placed to serve today's market demands and continue innovating the next generation of construction materials.”
Last year Hahn reprocessed 30,000 tonnes of plastic waste, which the company said would otherwise have been be destined for landfill.
