Same here. Bleady shame tho.got a letter today to say that mole valley are closing their farm plastic recycling scheme at the end of Feb, guess we will have to go back to paying to dispose of it.

Best thing I did was roof silage pit .Bliss now clean dry sheet to roll back and use for side sheets next year .Thanks CSFRolling sheet back is alright until it rains all night Saturday and you go out Sunday morning and all the sheet has come down and brought a load of tyres down with it and you spend an hour clearing them all back up

Can't they do same as used tyres?
I was amazed to hear today they're all collected at £1.40 a tyre and taken to a tarmac/cement place and burned....
In my ignorance I thought they were recycled! What a con the tyre charge is!!
One of these being built near me. More of this needs to be done. Change a waste material into valuable commodity. Could get to the point were you could get paid for the waste.
Small versions of the process machines, 3 ton per day. Form a co-op and get your own.

Hi all my father in law is able to source a machine capable of cooking ANY plastic waste and timber etc and turning it into Diesel or Crude Oil (user selects).
The smallest model takes 1 ton of waste at a time and takes 8 hours to process it leaving a small amount of waste carbon.
I really like the idea but am wondering realistically how many tonnes of waste a farm may potentially have on a year to try to work out the viability of farms having their own equipment on site vs providing a drop off site or a mobile or hire service.
Think it would be nicer to processs the fly tipped tyres and turn them to useable fuel than pay for skips and possibly make an insurance claim.
Could anyone help with very approximate amounts of waste you may have typically?
Hi thank you for your response. Permit cost is ok it is the emissions monitoring cost that is a killer!Sorry to be the one that brings it up, but, you will need a permit to operate a pyrolysis operation. Under 3t/hr it's a Local Authority permit, above that it's an EA permit, in England as Scotland has different thresholds. Permit costs about £3300 and emissions monitoring equipment £70000 approximately.
We have costed up a fixed site locally as a larger plant but were just wondering if plastic is an issue if we could help with a solution.Sorry to be the one that brings it up, but, you will need a permit to operate a pyrolysis operation.

Our machine can cook contaminated plastic too infact anything really and the gas emitted can be used to power the machine itself or go to grid as energy.Plastic is a huge issue, especially the low/no value stuff. There's always options, I have a client who may have the solution to contaminated plastic, I'm just awaiting machine details.

So exciting

Great idea but unfortunately the EU prohibit turning waste plastic into deisel. They'd sooner dump it in the third world.
So, looking at your discussion, there is the technology to turn our waste tyres and plastic into fuel, but licensing the technology is incredibly expensive, even though it seems the government wants it to happen, am I right?I'm afraid they don't.

I stand corrected. It must have changed from " circular plastics economy" whereby it must be continually recycled.I'm afraid they don't. Have a look here https://ciwm-journal.co.uk/new-regulations-to-incentivise-renewable-fuels-from-waste/
